Observations from eight warm, relaxing days in South Beach:
- Reputation can only take a place so far.
- No one in the state of Florida knows how to drive. Period.
- If you aren’t originally from Florida and you started out knowing how to drive eventually, after enough time in the state, you forget everything you ever learned about how to drive.
- The Food Network can’t event manage their way out of a wet paper bag. Well, what else would you call starting to set up for a four day event nine days before it starts and still not being finished 12 hours before opening? Oh, by all means, with all that “planning” make sure to put the Porta-Potties in the sun for a wine and food festival that is on the beach in 85+ degree heat. I’m sure that smelled great by Sunday.
- Pasta is easy, good pasta is an art.
- Thank God for mirrored sunglasses.
- Why yes, I think it is about to cocktail or possibly gelato. Maybe both but not at the same time.
- Life would be so much better if we always got the disco nap from 3pm to 4pm.
- Sometimes the best thing you can do is just be present where ever you happen to be.
And now…back to reality.
