Proud to be...



I couldn't let the month of May pass with only one post (shame on me)...

The month just flew by due to the planning and preparation of a mini family reunion up in the mountains of Virginia at the Massanutten Resort. We had almost 40 people attend including my daughter from Richmond and my oldest son from Miami... 

This past Saturday I woke up with a huge knot in my stomach before driving up to the resort. The family started showing up about the same time we did. Not knowing how they would like the venue I recommended, my anxiety levels were at full tilt all afternoon.

I finally started feeling better by Sunday night. They all loved the place. We rented 7 two bedroom condos and they were fabulous. As were the amenities of the resort (I had only been before during the winter for skiing)...

There are pools, water parks, tennis courts, hiking trails, horseback riding, golf courses, and many other places to go and things to do... It was a hit for sure...

More to come as pictures come in from the family members...

Star Wars Day 2012



I have always been an avid Star Wars and Star Trek fan and enjoy this parody of 5/4 every year. 

Turning back the "way back" machine, I remember that May day in 1977 when my then employer (Burger King Corp) had a private pre-screening for employees at the Dadeland Twin Cinema, which was a parking lot neighbor of BKC's corporate headquarters on Kendall Drive, in Miami.. 

I can't believe it was 35 years ago... Many things have changed except one... The force is with us all!!
