IT CAME FROM THE MIND OF STEVE BAXLEY

(As Told To Pita Ojeda while on safari at merwyns)

>WE ALL NEED A BREAK

You realize its been 3 years since I went on vacation OUTSIDE of Michigan and Ohio?

Went to Idaho to see my cousin Mike get married,thats it
maybe I'm being punnished for that.

I mean I do enjoy the odd trek to Canada,and the trek to Celeveland was nice,but
still, nothing beats leaving a city and state for someplace you want to just veg out on.
granted Jackson,Michigan has NOTHING to be proud of, its downtown is death valley,
and the only time this city jumps is when either NASCAR or the IRL come, yea they have a county fair that attracts (and sometimes repells) some good talent..but thats only like 9 days.

And granted Toledo does have some decent qualities,like detroit, but still one needs to just flee to somewhere else, to feel alive,to breathe,to just be.

And for me, that place is..FLORIDA!!

Granted, Ive lived there..mainly in Jacksonville, and have relatives in the greater Tampa area..and my cousin is supposed to be still there,but there is one place ive never been..MIAMI!!

Sure Ive hit Ft. Myers, but feh! that was just a pebble in the mind, MIAMI is the creme of my cappuchino!

Everytime I have wanted to go, something happens..I know my mother HATES Florida, HATES it!! why? "Cause we've lived there", yea only in Jacksonville, which is an hors d'oveurs compared to MIAMI!!

So here is where we stand at the moment, November..MIAMI!


Wish me luck!


>PANTS

I just bought some new pants a week ago, they are now waiting to be sewn up,ripped in the crotch area! well I'm glad Ive two more pair..anyone got a patch?



>PITA

My latest gift, is a ceramic heart, I hope she loves it


>ROD RODDY
Announcer Rod Roddy passed away last night, one of the most liked announcers on TV,mainly for his wardrobe,but his booming voice will always be a reminder of "Press your luck", "SOAP",and "The Price Is Right"



Later skates!
