Have trouble meeting people? Could you use a few more friends and a steady job? Or maybe you're just tired of life, yours in particular? Have I got the life for you...
Ian Usher is a 44-year-old from Australia who is taking the phrase "start anew" to new heights. Ian is selling his entire life - his house, his job, his clothes, his car, his friends, everything must go.
Ian says, "When it's over, I will just walk out the front door, take my wallet, my passport and start a new life. I plan to go to the airport, show up and see what plane has a seat available on it." Whaddaya say to taking chances?

Hot Spring, South Florida
Thursday, March 20th is the 1st day of spring, thought it already feels like summer. In fact, this was the 2nd warmest winter in South Florida; the 1st was in 1932! Spring will most likely be even warmer... So if April showers bring May flowers, do hot springs bring molten summers?
All Fore the Blue Monster
Tiger Woods is in town to defend his title at the CA Championships at Doral. Last weekend, I remember glancing at the Arnold Palmer Invitational stats and seeing Tiger pretty far down on the scoreboard; next thing I know, he's won the darn thing!!
I also recently told a friend that, during a golf tournament, they move the holes daily, so that each round is challenging. She wouldn't believe me initially, but 'tis true... they do. Heck, I only found that out a couple of years ago, myself. Did you know that?

Tax Rebate explained
You've probably received a letter from the IRS letting you know about your upcoming tax rebate. You can figure out how much you'll receive based on your salary and how many children you have. You can figure out when you'll receive your rebate based on the last two digits of your Social Security number. You'll have to figure out how to spend the money all on your own!

Baggy pants wearing thin
Okay, this whole baggy pants thing has me perplexed. Places like Opa Locka and Atlanta have banned wearing sagging pants in public. BANNED! Meaning city lawmakers have sat around discussing a fashion(?) fad/trend and decided to try and eradicate it.
Now the state lawmakers are involved, with a bill that will punish students who wear saggy, baggy pants and expose their "back ends or sexual organs". And by expose, the lawmakers are not necessarily talking about the showing of flesh - the lawmakers are referring to the underwear showing. So it's exposure of (usually) boxer shorts, or another layer of clothing.
I can certainly understand a school's dress code, or a place of business banning certain attire but, I don't understand how this has reached the place of bills, laws, and punishment, oh my!Do I find this fashion appealing? No, not really. Am I impressed by (usually) his ability to walk with his belted pants mid-thigh? Yes, yes I am.
What am I missing in as far as laws being needed? Do bad fashion choices as a youth really lead to indolent adults?
Billy Joel's winter home is here
Billy Joel and wife Katie Lee use Miami Beach as a backdrop for their winter.
