My apologies, Mr. B

Will Rogers, in his great wisdom, is supposed to have said, "It isn't what you don't know that gets you in trouble. It's the things you know that aren't so."

Thus, the guy I've known as "Bradley." That's the way I heard it in February, and he was too polite to correct me all this time. But I was talking with Ref yesterday, and maybe my ears were listening better.

So today I confirmed my mistake with Mr. B, and apologized, and came home and corrected all my old blog posts. (I hope! Please let me know if you see "Bradley" anywhere.)

So now let me introduce you to him properly. He'd never boast, but I've learned over several months of conversation and side-by-side work that for years he was a shrimp boat captain (though he never learned to swim, and he has a really funny story about that), a man of adventure on occasion (my lips are sealed) and was president of his church men's choir (he does a great falsetto harmony).

Hardworking, loyal, a man of honor and faith.

It's spelled B-R-A-N-T-L-E-Y.
