Lauderdale-by-the-Sea


Sarah's Birthday Party - Opa!

A few of our good friends and I surprised Sarah on Friday night with a leetle get-together at Taverna Opa! - one of the hot-spots on the restaurant scene in Fort Lauderdale


We had a good time with dear friends and I was even persuaded to let the inhibitions go - yip, dancing on tables happened (Pic 3). A highly recommended experience, although slightly out of character!


Pic 2: Chay's high standards was not easily met! Some belly dancers performed to Sarah's delight.

Graduation Day

October 10. Graduation Day. Now on to bigger and better things, mainly a decent salary which is something distinctly lacking in my current job. I do enjoy my job itself very much. Don't get me wrong.
However, it's sad how there is always something 'bout every job that is disagreeable. Unfortunately in my case it is the most important thing - Money! Or then, the lack thereof.

About the Graduation - a decent event with lots of pomp and circumstance. A hall full of graduates andd guests.

Very noticably was that, by my guestamate, less than 5% knew the words to the Star Spangled Banner that was played to open the event. Eish! And most don't care! - a big grievance for my lovely Texan-born, military-raised wife, and rightly so.

Had a great lunch with some former classmates at the Rusty Pelican afterwards, overlooking the Miami skyline. Come visit us and we'll take you there!
