Good morning dear readers, and how was your weekend?
Well it's a glorious Monday, the weather is cool and breezy, and -- waddya know -- Ted Ginn is a Miami Dolphin.
Did any of you humpers get out there for the Herald Hunt? If you did, you got beat by Miami attorney Antonio Ginatta, who had to solve a ridiculously absurd final clue but who won nonetheless:
Now that's mighty impressive Antonio. The last time I participated in the Herald Hunt, it was still called the Tropic Hunt, and they held it in Coconut Grove.This year's winner: a team of five Miami Central High School alumni in their mid-30s, some of whom flew in to town just for the Hunt.
''It was a lot of work, a lot of stress,'' said Antonio Ginatta, a Miami attorney and member of the winning team, which also included Frank Estadt, a Phoenix restaurateur; Greg Nguyen, a Miami high school teacher; Beesham A. Seecharan, a New York attorney; and David Jones, a Miamian who quit the Hunt about an hour before his teammates cracked the code.
Suffice it to say that the final solution involved giving a name, a telephone number and map coordinates to a person in a pink flamingo T-shirt standing on the corner of Northeast Second Avenue and Fifth Street.
If I recall correctly, Tom Fiedler and I had smoked a big doobie around lunchtime and I got lost somewhere near Peacock Park, looking for giant inflatable cue balls, where I wound up taking a nap until it the whole thing was good and over.
So yeah Tony, that's a big improvement on my performance.

Doobie?
Pretty jazzy thing to say SFL.
I remember the days when you could smoke up in Peacock Park and still be a respected member of society.
7:38, those were the days.
You ask about our weekend SFL, how was yours? How many times was Bolero played?
Dave Barry is a riot but his clues were absurd.
"..wound up taking a nap"
Smoking a doobie will do that to you every time and not to mention getting the munchies.
Ok this will separate old time grovers from the posers (like anyone post biscayne baby)-- The Country Store. Oh yeah that was good eats.
I used to love the grove when it was more freewheeling. Now it is boring and full of chain stores.
9:48, the Grove is alright.
Where did you and Tom get the doobie
SFL?
Forget the doobie where can I find giant inflatable cue balls? It'll fit right in with my shag carpeting and lava lamp. Yeah baby Yeah!
Stay away from the brown acid, SFL.
10:58, good one.
SFL appears to be too exhausted to answer any of our questions. What happened SFL, was the princess directing you?
12:15, the dieting has been rough.
anyone remember the "Tom Thumb" restruant?
or "Honey for the Bears" or the Ladybug ?
Miami SUNSET High School, not Miami Central!
SFL this one is for you --
Think I'll go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the road
Lotsa friends and children
Layin' in the grass
Hookah makes me crazy
Believe I'm goin' have to pass
Think I'll go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the road
Then you find your kokane
Start to movin' fast
Trip, stumble, fall, freeze up
Hope your body last
Think I'll go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the road
Drinkin' plenty good liquor
Bourbon twelve years old
Herowine, just in time
Worst trip that I know
Think I'll go down
Mama
Take a pass
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Some people into Jesus
Other people into Zen
I'm just into every day
I don't hide from where I been
I just go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the road
