Winter in Miami

It's easy to get a little burnt out on the heat here when its October and you're still sweating profusely, but when January comes around I am reminded why I have lived here the last eight years and have no plans to leave. I have spent the the entire day in extreme bliss. The weather is absolutely gorgeous. After some studying and errands, I began dinner. The windows are open and the sound of swaying palm trees are competing with a new Miles Davis record, appropriately titled. . .

A Day at the track


Only one "old Miami/Proper life" friend still remains in the city. While she was attending to some errands my compadre invited me to Homestead Speedway to drop off some red bull and cheer on a friend participating in the races. While my boyfriend is at the Daytona 500 we are in Homestead cheering on go carts, equally impressed by the caliber of driving.

30 hours with Josh

It is always difficult to plan a get together especially when its destination. My old roommate Josh didn't think he would have time to make the reunion but last week decided (with the encouragement of Dani Disco) thirty hours is better than nothing. Josh brought us all presents from his time in Benin with the Peace Corp last year. The gifts really tied the group together. Instead of bandannas and mustaches, this year we all wore African necklaces, bracelets, and belly beads.

    
    

Thank you Mr. Cunningham for finally showing your face again in the 305. You have been missed.
