Lunch today was in the patio. There was plenty of food, chatting, and for some reason music that sounded like the chipmunks, but that’s not important. (we found out later there was a malfunctioning ipod) We got a chance to sit outside, enjoy the weather, and enjoy each other’s company.
Boots With The Fur (not really)
55 degrees in Miami means I wear my knee-high boots. Go ahead and laugh. My friends in D.C. and even Atlanta kindly informed me they woke up to ice on their cars this morning. I just told them that ice in my gallon of milk is enough to freak me out! After we “flirted with the forties” last night… “felt the forties”… whatever you want to call it… I just want to know when I can wear my flip flops again!
No Cell Phone Crossing
One of the most difficult stories I remember us covering was about a young boy killed in a crosswalk on the way to school by a woman who was speeding while on her cell phone. The raw emotion is what keeps coming back to me as I think about the topic of school zone safety. Now one South Florida county is doing something about cell phones behind the wheel.
Getting The Girl
I’ve got a soft spot for kids, especially the cute ones. We all know they say the ‘darndest things,’ but my favorite is how they manage to keep it simple and yet speak the truth. My teenage sister told me the other day that “high school boys just suck.” And my favorite cute kid of the week is Alec Greven, who says that “pretty girls are like cars that need a lot of oil.” He wrote a book, “How To Talk To Girls,” for a 3rd grade project, and it’s catapulted into a book deal. It’s simple observations from the playground, but they apply to girls of all ages. Just wait until you hear what he says about ‘regular girls.’
Community Champion
And if I were to ever become an NBA wife (not likely, but just imagine it with me), I’d want to be like Tracy Mourning. She’s a classy, gracious lady who is committed to our community. She’s a champion of several causes, and she’s being called the “Citizen of the Year”… Sharon Lawson will bring us her story tonight.
We’ve got all those stories for you… plus a sprinkling of some other stuff… see you at 7pm!
