Just returned from Miami Beach last night. While I was away, NYC had weather in the balmy 50s. I came back in time for freezing 20s. I was lucky to get such a vacation. A poetry friend was given a trip for two to Miami Beach as a birthday gift. She asked me to join her – airfare and hotel paid for. I was treated to the meals. It was a total indulgence. Though it was very nice to be somewhere warm in February and to have housekeeping service, I am glad to be home. Home is not at all luxurious, but it is home.
Now for local news:
