home away from home

recommend the Marriott Hollywood Beach hotel for a luxurious-yet-relatively-affordable beachfront stay in the Ft. Lauderdale area.
beautiful views all around - outside bar by the pool - 20 steps to the beach - sun rises at 6 so you can be burned by 8 - amazing service staff - good fun - morning breakfast buffet - comfy beds with 6 pillows per bed - flat-screen TV - full size marble-tiled shower with glass doors - mini bar under the TV - overall, worth it without breaking the bank.

get out there and shop. wield a stick. the people will be thick.

miss everyone, hope you get fat and sleepy today.

why would i want to pay $.50 to take the turnpike when it's just like being on MoPac back home at 5pm. i thought you paid the toll to get around the traffic but i guess when you have 5 million people in a small area, you're gonna run into traffic no matter what.

I would also like to give a big shoutout to my girl Melissa. It's her 30th birthday today. And I wonder why the ground shook today. Here's wishing a fantabulous start to her 4th decade. I'll be there next year.

it is possible to get pink when tanning outside the third week of November - only in Miami.

baking in the sun on a late November day -- never in Texas.
unfortunately there are daily rainshowers but you can see them coming.
