Re: FL Keys / Key West

I stopped at "The Big Chill" last week on a quick trip to Key Largo for a couple of beers with a buddy that was in from out of town. Nice new place on the bay right as you hit Key Largo from the 18 mile strech. 2 big bars and a large pool, perfect for a day trip down from Miami. The barten...

Re: 2009 Nascar Season

How 'bout that #5 on the outside pole! I hope if Mark is in the lead this year and the 29 comes along side him, he puts him in the wall!

We're really not doing much this weekend, so no change in plans. But we went to Gulf Shores two weeks ago and didn't let the price of gas affect our plans. We figure an extra $1/gal would cost us about $80. Are people really canceling their vacation plans for $80? Thats what I was thinking. But the...

If your an Guy Harvey(marine wildlife artist) fan, he has an art gallery on the island hand is there some of the time. We saw him there and had him sign some prints for our kids. I'm not sure how often he is there but I know he lives on the island.

It was pretty cool.

Update:
I just had my 3rd phone interview, the 2nd with the EVP. I already sent him a "thank you" email after the firs interview 2 weeks ago.

Should I send him another "thank you" this time as well?

Holiday Isle is still there. It was sold and was supposed to be nocked down and then turned into condo's . That was put on hold since the condo market has gone soft. It really depends on what you're looking for, but I always try to stop for at least one. I've been going there for years and its now j...
