Ken, I remember when I was getting all these recruiting letters for colleges and University of Miami sent me one stating they were located in "lovely Coral Gables". If the university won't even claim it's in Miami, you know you have issues! Florida's a big state and it has quite the variety. I've been looking into planning a few day trips or weekend trips. My therapist thinks it would be good for me, plus there's a lot of stuff I've never seen even though I'm a Florida native. Fairchild Gardens for one. The butterfly exhibit at UF is another. I want to go to Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary but I'm trying to decide when. I'd love to see the Ghost Orchid in bloom there, but that's usually in the summer and I don't know if I want to be out in that heat. It sounds like a fun place to go anyway. Maybe I can just buy the t-shirt and pretend. Rolling on the floor laughing

Jim, awesome show there. I'm digging the 'Serenity' the most. I could use a bit of that!
