Smokin' Joe Carnahan: JULIAN JOSEPH BRAY!

JULIAN JOSEPH BRAY!

Guys:

Born. Winner.

Look at that mug. He's less than a day old and already you want him to have your back.

This little colossus WAS named after yours truly. He is brand
new to the scene, born after giving his mother Vanessa a nice, healthy
twenty-plus hours worth of labor. He weighed in at 9 lbs 6 ounces and
was twenty-two inches long. He is of Irish-Mexican descent and as my
namesake he'll more than likely break some furniture over the course of his life,
punch some folks out and not really concern himself with the concepts
of 'abstinence' or 'sobriety.'

THAT'S MY BOY!

His father is my best friend and world class stunt coordinator Ben
Bray and for those of you that know him well, like I do, you can only
shake your head at how cruel the world can be to some children but
if you know his mother Vanessa, then you realize that everything actually
does balance out in the end.

Congrats to both of them on the construction of this strapping young
upstart.

May he one day bring the world to its knees.

Joe,

Any truth to the rumor that when the doctor gave little JJB a slap upon delivery he retaliated with a right hook to the head of the OBGYN?

Congratulations to Vanessa and Ben on their healthy baby boy.

Sincerely,
DanV

Congrats!

Here's to no abstinence or sobriety!

PS Ben Bray sounds like the name of a super hero alter ego.

Congratulations to Ben and Vanessa and a big "Welcome to the world!" to Julian. I'm sure he will make his mark in it someday. But speaking of Mexican-Irish, that reminds me of Mrs. Donahue, my old Spanish teacher in high school. She was one of my favorites. She was from Brazil but her husband was Irish, so she always said that when they fought, the fur really flew. he-he.

Best Wishes, Wendy

wendy,
my mother is from san paulo, brasil, and just so you know, we are not mexicans. not all people of latin coloring are interchangeable. our language is not spanish, like mexicans. we speak portugese, and have our own proud history and traditions, that have nothing to do with tequila or montezuma. yours is an indifferent , anecdotal racism. as if fur doesnt fly with two polock parents like yours when they fight. you are no better than hollywood and its biased portraying of ethnic types.
