Hurry Hurry, Lime is open after a 3-year hiatus. They still make the best Margarita's for lunch.

Sunny Florida Hooray! Cold, wet, and massive GPS Driving Experiment behind us now. Learned how to "game" Google Maps and Waze to my advantage. That brings to mind how a land war of Tanks maneuvering might play out in the future.

Florida Weather is now perfectly boring with the daily range 70 to low 80's.

CHICAGO — Chicago logged a record-tying ninth consecutive day with measurable snowfall on Sunday, equaling similar nine-day runs from Jan. 29-Feb. 6, 1902 and Jan. 6-14, 2009. Measurable snow has now been logged daily from February 3-11. No snow is expected Monday, so the record should not be brok...

Cutting Cable goes mainstream. http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-cord-cutting-accelerates-20171219-story.html

Now at the Capri, we have Google's Webpass 500 MB downloads as part of our condo fees at $20 per month per unit. Roku lets us stream all of our favorite sources. YouTube TV soon to be available while Hulu and Direct TV are available. I am especially excited about YouTube TV for $35 a month as that will let me have 6 users with 3 active at any one time. It allows an unlimited Cloud DVR for my favorite shows. An incredible deal.

Cord-cutting reached critical mass in 2017, as millions jettisoned traditional cable service for streaming video platforms such as SlingTV, PlayStation Vue and Hulu.

Had a fantastic dinner the other evening at Cipriani Miami. Magically we were transported to Venice. Wonderful food, beautiful people, possibly one of the most romantic restaurants I have ever been to.
