I can’t think of a better way to lighten the mood than with a visit to the Burt Reynolds & Friends Museum in Jupiter, Florida. Besides all the endless fan paintings, there’s autographed pictures, personalized notes, movie posters, honorary sheriff’s badges, Burt’s horse carriage made by Dolly Parton, Burt’s baby pictures, Burt’s awards, the “Deliverance” canoe and of course pictures of Burt’s friends.
Unfortunately, like Dom Deluise, the museum is now dead. I think. But to just know it once existed makes me smile. Okay…now back to reality.
