Brad and Andrew hoping for takers on their ATV demolition ride.

Who knows at what precise moment in those first few years Julia and I went from being colleagues to friends? I don't, and I doubt that she did. But I loved that she was my friend. Prone to foolishness, craving a laugh and a good time, she was a hoot. Forget her age; Julia Child never parted company with the spunky, outrageous Julia McWilliams who'd led her siblings and childhood friends through one mischievous neighborhood caper after another. She was always the slightly naughty Julia who'd piled her college friends into a 1929 Ford convertible and hauled them off to a nearby speakeasy; the adventurous Julia who, in the midst of World War II, joined the Office of Strategic Services and fearlessly ventured to far-off Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) aboard a ship with a handful of women and three thousand men; the same Julia who relished a hot dog with everything at ten in the morning.
