I'm back! After a brief hiatus from posting I'm ready to get back into the grove. It's been about 2 months since my last post so I'll try to catch everyone up as best as possible. Here's a rundown of what I was up to:

• finding a place to retrieve the data off my external hard drive which decided to die on me. luckily, the guys at preemo were able to do it successfully

• celebrated my 43rd birthday with my sister & nieces

• caught up with some old friends while in O-town

• drove past the houses I grew up while in O-town

• went canoeing on the Wekiva River

• checked out Miami's Gay Pride Parade

• did some more decorating in my apartment

• packed up my office for our big move to Doral (starting Monday)

• saw a taping of American Ninja Warrior at Bayfront Park

• took photos of Flat Stanley around Miami for one of Huegel's boys' class project

I'm sure there were other things as well but the memory isn't what it used to be. :) Just where will I end up next time is any one's guess.

stay gold & be well

"It's so Miami". That was the catch phrase from last weekend when d&j were in town from SF. Of course it was also the weekend that Miami hit record low temperatures. Go figure. However, we didn't let the non-Miami temperatures stop us from having fun. Besides, it's all about the company and it was really good to spend time with good friends. It something that I definitely needed. Here's a rundown of how we spent the weekend:

01. getting soaked walking to Wynwood
02. checking out a new sticker exhibit
03. lunch at Wynwood Kitchen & Bar
04. a drive to the beach at night
05. hanging out at the gay beach & taking a dip in the ocean
06. drinks at Palace & Twist in South Beach
07. Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens
08. a drive through Fort Lauderdale & Miami Beach
09. empanadas
10. photo shoot with the red Mustang
11. panther coffee experience
12. checking out Little Havana

One of the best moments was when d surprised me with a quilt that was made from an old superhero sleeping bag I had. It's one of the best gifts I've ever received. I was amazed at how well it came out especially since the sleepy bag was in bad shape. His friend did an awesome job on it. I love it!

Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.

Hello 2013! I hope every out there had a great holiday season. I know I did. Christmas was spent with my sister and for New Year's Eve I hung out with some old friends from high school. It doesn't get much better than that. I started off the new year making posole in the slow cooker and packing up the Christmas decorations.

2012 was a big year for me. I left my job and the city I called home for over 10 years to return to Florida. It took some adjusting but I finally feel like I'm settling into my new home. Next month will mark my one year anniversary in Miami and what a better way to spend it then having friends from SF come visit. I'm definitely excited about that. I looking forward to seeing what 2013 has in store for me.

As for resolutions, I generally don't make them. Although there are plenty of things that I would like to accomplish in 2013. I keep you posted on that as they come up.

Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.
