A fruit basket and some old episodes of Bonanza? Hmm, that's odd; I heard it was a Cheese-of-the-Month Club membership and a pair of handmade Edward Green Monk-Strap shoes that Dick sent him.
The cheese was good, but the shoes were nearly perfect works of art. It's a pity Jeremy scuffed them up beyond repair when he and Wade somehow prevented the theft of a crate full of rare marula by the shadowy buyers that represented Fuji TV's sinister patriarch, the flamboyant Takeshi Kaga.
In their attempt to purloin the fruit at the 1997 Sunriser Toastmaster's Club Flag Day dinner in Tucson, there was evidently an intense slow-speed chase that concluded at the airplane graveyard north of Marana, where those inscrutable orientals had a pilot in a Douglas DC-3 waiting to whisk them off to Tijuana. Thankfully Jeremy and Wade stopped them cold, and the exotic fruit was delivered on time and the Flag Day dinner was saved.
Sadly, his shoes never recovered, and even the master craftsmen of the Esoteric Order of Cobblers in Copenhagen couldn't repair them. Ah, well; easy come, easy go.
The good news is, in appreciation of their actions, the Toastmasters' High Provost rewarded Jeremy and Wade with enough cash and gift certificates to fund the purchase of a full camping and hiking outfit for each of them, a two year supply of gourmet bacon for Jeremy and a new second-hand Fiat convertible for Wade.
And NONE of this would have been possible without The Dance! It's an affair to remember.
Nichelle, Amy and Dan have the same gift as their grandfather, the gift of spinning a yarn. You can't believe anything they tell you unless you have witnessed it. I believe Jeremy is referring to the song by Garth Brooks. Am I right Jeremy?

HUH??? Your posts are so random...
I'm with KaraLyn...HUH?
Come on. It's obvious...
This day, many years ago, Jeremy tried out to be on Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve show.
He made it, of course, but a pinky toe injury prevented him from showing up a few months later for the actual show.
It was really sad.
He cried for days.
But Dick sent him a fruit basket and some old episodes of Bonanza, and it perked Jeremy right up.
Are you serious???? I never know whether to believe your stories. You and Dan are so good at making them up.

Dan you have WAY too much time on your hands. Now I know both stories aren't real.
LOL...All very funny!
"I wonder what he means?"
"Is this some kind of code?"
Are you ever going to tell me? Because I really have no idea. (Well I had one, but it turned out to be wrong. It didn't share the same date).

That's the first thing that came to my mind as well, Garth Brooks song. Jeremy always loved that song.
Dan can tell some pretty good stories. But if I am in the same room as him, I can tell he is lying. He has a horrible poker face.
It was in reference to the song by Garth...but was does it mean???
I learned the reasoning behind this post today from Jeremy. All I have to say is...."That's so sweet!"
