I just heard about Earth Hour in CNN. I remember when Sydney, Australia turned off their lights last year and I thought... what an incredible thing to do. Well, apparently this year several cities around the world are participating. Today!
It's things like this that give me hope; I'm not alone, there are thousands, millions of people who care and who want to do something about our environment. I will deffinitely turn off my lights and relax by candlelight possibly downstairs by the beach or maybe in my balcony. FYI, Earth Hour tonight between 8-9pm.
Do your part.

Coastal Flood Warning
There is a winter storm system over the Northwest Atlantic which is affecting the north part of the island, and is putting a damper on Easter week vacations.
This from my WeatherBug and the National Weather Service: "This coastal flooding is the greatest non-tropical cyclone related swell event experienced in the local area since the Perfect storm of 1991." We are experiencing 12 feet swells, coastal flooding, breaking waves between 15-25 feet, there is a high surf warning in effect thru Friday, possibly to be extended over the weekend. In other words, it's not pretty. This picture is of the building grounds leading out to the beach. As you can see, the sea weed and sand were thrown easily 50+ feet into the grounds as the tides have come and gone.
Here's to everyone back at home in NY who tells me how jealous they are of me... living by the beach, enjoying the sun and surf. It is great most of the year, and then you have weeks when you think the ocean is just going to swallow the island. Get this, usually I have about 40+ feet of beach right outside the building grounds, now watch the video.

This or That?
randomness...feed your mind and your blog
Would you rather...
1. Sky dive or bungee jump? Sky dive, eventhough I had an opportunity and talked my self out of it.
2. Eat a hissing cockroach or eat a slug? I'd rather starve.
3. Have lifelong free entry to all theme parks or lifetime free entry to all movie theaters? Although I love theme parks, lifetime free entry to all movie theaters would be awsome. Each time you go you get to see a new movie.
4. Spend one month without books or one month without tv? One month without books. I enjoy reading, but it's not something I do a whole lot. However, I am a tv junkie.
5. Have the ability to fly or be able to become invisible? Hummm... that's a tough one, probably the ability to fly. I think the freedom of movement and oportunity to see things from an entirely different perspective would be cool.
6. To have a personal shopper for life or a personal fitness trainer for life? Deffinitely a personal fitness trainer for life. That way I will always be motivated, and won't be able to make excuses. And by the way, why would I not want to do my own shopping? To me that is such a stress relieving and comforting experience.
7. Be spiderman or be superman? I'm stumped. Both.
8. Be stuck in the 70's or be stuck in the 80's? I lived the 80's and they were pretty wacked, but the 70's are not my cup of tea. Deffinitely the 80's..... love that music!!
Till next time....

Back to NY?
I don't want to go back to NY yet, but there is a chance I may have to. I'm happy here, I love the place where I live, my surroundings, the slower pace, less worries and less stress. I don't think I have too much time to decide, but I need to figure out how can I do it? How can we do it?
I need help!!!

Emile was here
My friend Emile was here to spend 5 days with me and Joseph. It should be illegal to have so much fun!!! We laughed so much we were all complaining of aching heads, faces and bellies. I'll post a few pics in the next few days.
One of the memorable experiences of this visit was the sunburn I got. OMG!! My whole body turned a golden red, which never happens. I n e v e r burn but this time that caribean sun did a job on me. Right now my back is still peeling a little bit and is still sensitive to the touch. ouch. But I must confess.... I'd do it all over again.
