Our boat sold to....Tom Cruise....?

This is from an old post originally published in 2008, but when put back in Draft mode and then when re-published will adopt a new date...odd. Wanted to show this story to a friend of mine, so won't be up long...

Well, looks like our boat sold. The neighbour was right there with a camera. Looking out the window I thought, why the heck would our neighbour out there be taking pictures of our boat...? Well, he wasn't taking pics of the boat, but of Tom Cruise! I went out to investigate and sure enough, there is my hubby talking to a bearded Mr. Cruise! (you can still tell!) Mr. Cruise plops down a bankdraft (no name on it other than the banks....weird). Boy that was quick!! Taking our baby away....we'll miss you! Got some pics. Finally, the bearded guy with big grin (nice white teeth) , shakes hands with hubby and hubby says: "Thanks Todd". Todd?....what?! not Tom? Sheesh....could have sworn it sure looks like him. I guess "Todd" will take her on a cruise and use as a sport fishing vessel or whatever he wishes. I asked my husband what the guys name really is and he says he doesn't know, that he only introduced himself as 'Todd'. I said: 'you mean you never ASKED him for a last name?' "....no....I got the money, didn't I?" Well, it was a fine boat and we'll miss "SeaDreamer V"
Well, Tom and Katy were here a few years back when Katy was pregnant with their daughter Suri. Walked right past them on the beach. Fascinating to spot celebrities in our parts. Actually not, according to other locals as we get them on a monthly basis, Robin Williams, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, Susan Sarandon, Danny DeVito (supposedly a very good tipper)...gawd I can't name them all, but Arnie Schwarzenegger came to visit our Harbour with his mega-yacht. This is after all a nice secluded place for them to come and visit. Hubby's cousin stayed at Patrick Dempseys flat last summer.
And hey....Tom Cruise, he isn't as tall as I thought, BUT....very fit! (click on picture to enlarge)...

Wow, what a funny story, "Todd"! LOL! Maybe your hubby just heard wrong and "Tom" didn't want to correct him! *giggle* that is just too cool!
