Today I went parasailing and it was just like flying. What a gorgeous day! What an incredible view of South Beach from a parachute. The weather was perfect and it was a wonderful experience. It's just one of the adventures that I'm researching for my feature in Where Magazine on Adrenaline Adventures in Miami. Oddly enough, parasailing seems like an adrenaline adventure but after you're harnessed in (unless you have a fear of heights or flying) it's very relaxing. It's a very calm, quiet, relaxing experience high over the ocean overlooking the shore of South Beach. Tomorrow I'm having a wave runner/jetski experience. On Saturday, I'm flying weightess in G-Force One. On Monday, I'm swimming with the dolphins. Today I picked the winners of the Spring Awakening tickets (to be posted on Friday on http://www.miamiartzine.com/) and the winners of the Parlez-Vous-Francais? tickets which will also be posted on Friday. Congratulations ticket winners. Can wait to see both shows. Check out http://www.miamiartzine.com/ for lots of arts info and ways that you might win tickets.

Too Many Nights, Not Enough Days
My life has gotten the best of me once again. I'm living at a pace too fast to write it all down. The opening and closing of the MGLFF has pasted. I've been to films, plays, and the beach, not to mention my new addiction for the gym, all without a word describing my experiences. I even visited what I thought was going to be Knott's Berry Farm (even though it's in Buena Vista, California) but turned out to be Knaus Berry Farm, a small farmer's market tourist stop in the middle of nowhere famous for its fruits, vegtables, and sticky buns. It was somewhere to go on a lazy Sunday afternoon. We did make a stop at Cauley Square, a village of bungalows now housing boutiques, shops, galleries, and a tea shop. One of the shops was the home of a pack of racoons (about forty or so) who lived underneath the house. Today I woke up and realized that I had once again neglected my blog. My excuse can be found at http://www.miamiartzine.com/. Content and photos are all my responsibility to upload and I'm busy every day. There's always something new to put up on the site, a new review, a new editor's pick, a new gallery, or blog. Check it out. This should be an exciting week as I'm researching my Adrenaline Adventures feature for Where Magaine. I'll be swimming with the dolphins, parasailing, waverunning, and floating weightless. In case you're interested, here's one of the racoons.
