Since my nephew left for Miami to play baseball for University of Miami two years ago, I've been saying that I wanted to go watch him play baseball. Of course, it seems that every weekend comes and goes without getting out there. So, finally, in late April/early May we headed out for a quick weekend trip to Miami. It was great to see Taylor play and to see him. He is a sweet, smart hardworking young man. And, he's a good set-up pitcher. He explained that he usually only pitches the eighth inning and sets up for the closer. After meeting and speaking with him, I realized that he's going to succeed no matter if he plays baseball or not. He's well-liked and has his head on straight.
While I was there, I decided I had to try and surf South Beach. I contacted a local surf shop and planned the lesson ahead of time. Although Maui, the super surfer, was late for our appointment, I still had a blast. He gave me a board to use and sent me out into the waves, which were quite similar to the waves we have in Galveston. It's always a thrill to surf somewhere new. And this was certainly true in South Beach. I had a blast and got in two solid hours of surfing! All this and I had an outstanding visit with my nephew too. It just doesn't get much better.
