Tourists

After our trip to Florida it is now clear you know you are a tourist when: You hand a parking attendant a $20 bill before he gives you the change. We never saw the guy again after he sprinted faster than Carl Lewis over to the 7-11 with our twenty. You have the entire beach to yourself. The locals stay home when it's below 80 degrees and raining. You buy magic "stuff" for your kids just because the clerk entertained them with his magic tricks. You walk around in your shorts and flip flops but everyone else needs sunglasses because your legs are so white. You sing along to a Neil Diamond impersonator at the restaurant. While driving by, you take a picture of a person lying on the ground getting handcuffed. We had a great trip to Miami, Florida, capped by the CATS remarkable comeback victory which was sparked by Jackie Elliott's bank in 3 to go into overtime. I have never seen such white eyes and a higher vertical in my career after that shot went through the net. I am proud of our ladies for showing such perseverance. Now it's time to bundle up, get back to work, and warm up by the fireplace. Go Cats! Coach Bin
