All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...
I know, I KNOW! Almost a week with no entry. But things have been very busy here in preparation for this weekend. Yes, today at 4:00PM, I leave work and head to the airport with my lady for 5 days and 4 nights in beautiful Miami. Well.....I assume it's beautiful, I've never actually been to Miami before....but I have seen many, many pictures. And I saw The Birdcage, so that counts, right? Anyhow, it's going to be an excellent break from the constant rain that we have had here in New York over the last week, and a much needed break from the city. Not to mention the fact that the vacation was almost completely paid for by Kimmie's boss! WHA? He bought our plane tickets and is giving us the use of his condo. Amazingly generous, I know.
It's been an interesting few days. Kimmie got back on Sunday night and we've been counting the minutes until our departure tonight ever since. The rain has not stopped since Monday, which makes the city a bit of a terror to get through, as you walk most anywhere you go. Everyone is a little more grouchy and a bit more pushy when it's like this and the fact that it's been 3 days, with no end is sight has seemingly magnified everyone's annoyance.
I auditioned for a man the other day who had a amazing and fascinating relationship with Judy Garland at the end of her life and has written a play about it. A true New York moment, meeting this guy who could play anything on the piano by ear. We sang a little, read a little. I won't go into details, other than to say that he wrote a book about it called Heartbreaker, which he has now turned into a musical and which I may have to hunt down just because it sounded so incredible. I'll find out more next week, but it seems like it would be an amazing experience.
Not really much else to report at this point. My mind has already moved on to sunnier weather. OH, except to say that my Penn State Nittany Lions have moved to 6-0 for the first time since 1999 and travel to Ann Arbor this weekend to face Michigan....a team they have lost to the last 6 times they have played. Time to get that monkey off our back, I think. I know that most of the folks reading this don't really care about Penn State football persay, but I do. So that's that. :o)
Until next time....I leave you with this thought from Charles Shultz (creator of The Peanuts)

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.
