Going to see the Miami Heat!

This coming Saturday I will be heading to the American Airlines arena to see the Miami Heat play the 76ers. This will be my first NBA game ever. I was never much of a Knicks fan when I lived in CT and there wasn't anything worth seeing in Tampa. The only reason I'm going is …

Texas De Brazil!

This past Saturday was Valentines Day and my wife decided that we should try some place new in Miami Beach.  Of course by the logo you can tell where we went.  This is a brief account of our experience there.OK so first off we had reservations at 7:45PM for dinner.  I raced down I-75 and …

All hail the hotel foam pillow!

This week I made a recent change to my preferences for Marriott, instead of the usual feather pillows I opted for foam pillows. And you know what? A magical thing happened to me, I was able to get a full nights sleep without waking up in the middle of the night. I think my previous …

Just when I thought I could leave Verizon

About a year ago Verizon bought out a regional cell carrier that was pretty popular here in the dirty South called Alltel. Alltel had this promotion where you could call 5 people for free on any network. It's pretty similar to a plan offered by T-Mobile who does the same thing. I think this type …

Cell Phone Contracts are sooo long!

I went online today to make sure of the date that my contract ends.  It looks like Verizon is offering new every 2 phones way earlier than 22 months.  My contract doesn't end until May but they said I was eligible in January.  Thats around 20 months which isn't bad, but they still don't have …

Finally making the switch

After ten years I think I'm finally going to take the plunge and go with AT&T Wireless. I've been a loyal customer of Verizon before they were even Verizon (I think I have my old phone somewhere at my mom's house). I'm due for a new phone already using the New Every Two program but …

New Asics: GT 2140

This is a picture of the sneakers I ordered from Zappos on Friday. I originally ordered the Asics Gel Kayano 14's but they were too small (which was surprising considering I always order a size 8). The GT 2140 is the upgrade to a shoe I got before that I thought hurt my feet but …

My sanctuary at 35,000 Feet

As you can see in the picture, this is what I take to work each week when I'm going to Atlanta. Pretty spiffy isn't it? Believe it or not, this is one of my sanctuaries these days from the turmoil that surrounds me at work. Another one of those being my car or being at …

Parking in Miami – How Funny!

This just happened I'd say 15 minutes ago. I got a call from the Miami Parking authority to talk about a parking space I had put in a request for and they wanted to know if I was still interested in the space. I think I did a pretty good job of not laughing at …

Buying shoes online

I would say that I've been buying shoes online for about a year now, maybe two and I'd say that my results have been mixed. My latest acquisition is another pair of sneakers so that I don't have to always unpack my sneakers on the weekends from my suitcase.Since I have always wanted to try …
