Still at the Beach, just a Different Beach

Well, I really am still at the beach, just not North Myrtle Beach. I'm actually in Miami Beach with Bro Robin and Sister Kathie. Visiting, checking the sites, cruzing SOBE, all the touron stuff. Haven't learned Spanish yet, but the osmosis is starting to kick in. Hard for it not to.

My good friend Arlene has just (almost) published her first book. It's called Success Mapping, and it's due out Aug 1, but you can sign up for an advanced copy and get a free gift in the process. Check it out at her Sinequanon Group website. We've known Arlene for a long time, been to Cabo with her and Jeanne the Z, and partied around Dallas many times. Her new book is not one I would pass up, 'cause this lady knows whereof she speaks, and can walk the walk.

We were originally concerned that our tourist season would be off because of 1) the economy and 2) the bad precedent the City of Myrtle Beach set with their anti-biker attitude. Well, we look pretty busy, but that's up here in North Myrtle Beach. Don't really know about MB proper, and could actually care less. NMB is doing things right, or so it seems. There's a new free outdoor band concert every month on Main Street now, joing the Mclean Park concerts, a new water slide (see previous post), plans to open a family oriented ride park next month next to the horseshoe, and (drum roll, please) the opening of the Main Street Extension. Things are happening up here, and we're loving it.

Cheers from Miami Beach, pray for surf, and let your suds settle.
