My school is closed for the Thanksgiving holiday this week, and so I will be home doing things I would normally do when I’m at work: writing and crosswords.  Except this morning AT&T is coming over to fix my phone lines — yes, I still have a landline — and then get back to work on my new play.

I’ll be around here, too, after spending yesterday at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and a car show.  I didn’t get much time to stroll around other than judging cars for the beauty contest, but I still managed to remind myself of this beautiful spot in the middle of Miami (technically, it’s in Coral Gables).
