BREAKING NEWS:
WE ARE LEAVING MIAMI!

Dave accepted a reporter position at KCBS-TV in Los Angeles today! I'm so proud of all he has accomplished with his innate creativity and hard work.

I will be seeking employment too, of course, and will keep you all posted on that front.

It's going to be hard to say goodbye to the friends we've made in Miami over the past 3 years. I plan to post a Miami retrospective in the coming days. Actually, I guess this entire blog could be considered a Miami restrospective!

For now, all I can say, in the spirit of American Idol's Randy Jackson, is:

"Cat! You're going to Hollywood, Dog!"
Yeah, Yeah, I stole that one from Saturday Night Live. :)
Poor Hartman gets all freaked out when the boxes come out. She's moved many times the past 10 years! Don't worry, Hart, I think this is our last move!

MORE BREAKING NEWS:

This just in: There appears to be a job opening for a photographer in Miami! If you or someone you know is interested, follow this link to the job posting to get more information! There is more than one opening.

Some Highlights From the Bahamas:

It's always crazy busy when you travel for work. As you can see we did have time to grab a sandwich. And where, you may ask, did we go to find this almost delicious sandwich?

0221071121
That's right! We did actually eat at the restaurant called "Poop Deck"! You notice I called the sandwich 'almost delicious'... I'm sure it would be unfair (but funny) of me to say the place lived up to it's name. The problem was they put some weird sauce on my sandwich. I'm not a big sauce person. If it's not classic yellow mustard or hot sauce-- chances are I won't like it. Now that I think about it... I'm not sure I want to know what the mystery poop deck sauce was. Moving on!

I suppose since we are on the subject of sauces... One afternoon during lunch I watched as this bee landed on the Bahamian Hot Sauce (far right) and proceeded to slurp up hot sauce around the rim. This went on for quite some time. You're all starting to think my trip to the Bahamas was pretty boring, eh? Ok, let's get to the good stuff:

They had a Stargate at my hotel! :) Alright, alright-- the good stuff:

Okay, so check this out. The media set up a makeshift podium with mics for all the major players to come speak at when they finished with court. I was one of the first to stake out a spot. Prime location! Then this still photographer shows up with a step stool and literally sets up right in front of my camera. And it get's better--
0226071402
He's on a step ladder when he is a foot away from where they will be speaking! I very politely asked him if he would not mind keeping off of the step stool because he was blocking my shot. He was not as polite. "I'm trying to get a shot too!!". My niceness convinced him to begrudgingly comply. Thank goodness for my Sachtler Hotpod! Though even at full extension there was a nice shot of him as foreground in my Larry Birkhead shot. Afterwards I told him about this great restaurant called "poop deck" that he should definately eat at.

I used our BGAN system for the first time! It's super simple to use. It basically sets up a portable Satellite internet connection so we could ftp our stuff back. Pretty cool! I think pretty much every station out there had one.

Here's me testing out the video chat!

So seriously, the bee was totally slurping up the hot sauce!
