I saw it on the news this morning. The other side has a Zulu warrior & "celebrating 100 years of Zulu". It's really beautiful.

They seem to have a good chance to actually get it to Mr. Obama. They are going through his newly-appointed social secretary (who was a Zulu Queen).
It also commemorates Zulu's 100th anniversary.
The artwork was done by Keith Eccles, an artist from da Bestbank.....Rosebuddy taught at his summer art camp...:D

We just got an invite from her son Naaman for an inauguration party at the Zulu club tomorrow. :)
I actually got an invite to the inauguration a couple of weeks ago. David came in with the envelope from the Presidential Inauguration Committee which said "Handle with Care." He said this may be the only piece of mail the USPS may be willing to handle with care*. ;)

(*no offense to johnnygospeltent, you know I love ya, bro!)

You sure are KeyWest Bruce, that's why everybody digs you. And you too johnnygospeltent, and Stax. I have some great superbowl buddies that I usually get together with every year, and they all work for the Redondo Beach Post Office. Always have a goodtime with those dudes.

Everybody has to do something to pay the bills. If I make it to November, it will be 22 years. The job saved me from being a nightclub manager and disk jockey. Not what I imagined when I graduated from college with a BBA in Management.
