Going to Miami
On my way to Miami for my companies annual Symposium where mostly we’ll be holed up in a South Beach hotel. The event kicks off tonight and ends on Thursday.
The weather will pay havoc with others getting down to Florida as America’s north-east has been stunned by a ‘snow bomb’ including my old mate New York Addick, who was back on his old stomping ground and has hopefully made it down to Florida where he is working next week. I hope to meet him later for a drink.
This work week is one of my favourites of the year although completely exhausting with long days and (not necessarily compulsory) long nights but a couple of drinks with NYA will be a nice way to commence proceedings.
South Beach and it’s Art Deco landscape is it’s very own Disney for grown ups with the constant rhythm of Cuban music and muscle cars driving incredibly slow up and down Ocean Drive.
South Beach is too much fun where every night appears like a Friday, and I often wonder what people do for a living that are whooping it up late at night on a Monday in a packed bar. They may be wondering the same of me.
Wiki definition – “In Ancient Greece, the Symposium was a drinking party.” I always knew it was an excuse for a jolly but assumed it had an official work role that justified a drinking session. Have one for me!
