BUFFETT BUZZ ‘ICONIC SWING SOUND’

Oh, wait a second. Mom just told me that it is not food; he’s a musician. Well, what do I know, my favorite music is the “Dateline” NBC theme song and the sweet, soothing sound of Keith Morrison’s voice. Anyway, mom also told me Jimmy Buffett was a big part of her childhood, growing up in Pennsylvania. She had the chance to see him in concert many times. People are going nuts to see him and there’s been a virtual riot to get tickets. I mean, can I get a press pass or something? I mean, I am the famous fox and was named “Best Local Celebrity” in the Upper Keys in 2022. I think Mr. Buffett should acknowledge and respect that title.

Reef is a red fox that was saved from a fur farm. He now lives in Key Largo with his human, Nicole Navarro.

The Upper Keys Humane Society had their big annual gala on Jan. 13 at Coconut Cove Resort and Marina. A little birdie told me it was a whole lot of fun and they raised a bunch of money for the shelter.

This Friday, Jan. 26, Jellyfish Daydreams is hosting Painting with Alyssa from 6 to 8 p.m. For $45, you can learn to paint on upcycled marine debris. It will be ocean-themed and 10% will be donated to a marine conservation group. Snacks, tea and water will be provided but you are welcome to BYOB. Jellyfish Daydreams is located at 91865 Overseas Hwy in Tavernier.

Anywho, that’s all for this week. Keep up with us on all of our social media pages. All of those links can be found at pawsitivebeginnings.org. Until next time, Reef, over and out!
