Hey y'all
I have been shadowing but obviously not posing for a while,
anyways I hope all is well. Everything seems good and I noticed a lot of gun control arguments. Why am I not surprised?? Lol.
Thought I'd let y'all know that I am going on a trip with my mom and sister.
We're going to pompano beach, fl, a beach of Fort Lauderdale. About 40 minutes from Miami. I am pretty excited. I have thought of the idea of meeting Richard back or Richard Rayl while I am down, because that would just be awesome plus they could tell is about the area. Ha just thought I'd boast!
oh, and btw, props to the swf mobile site. It works great on my iPhone!!

Hey thanks Snake. I still "lurk in the shadows" somewhat.
Why don't you like the mobile site?! You can always change it back to the desktop version even on your mobile device by scrolling to the bottom of the screen on swf.com and there's two buttons side by side, and they say both "mobile and desktop".

Yeah that's pretty cool! I'm getting excited to go!!
BTW for those that don't know, when I mentioned the names above, Richard Rayl I meant the username novahobbies and the other Richard is Siptang.
I'm probably the closest with them outside of the forums and my mom and sister (who I'm going with, sorry if I mentioned this earlier) were fine/excited to meet'em too.
I also just remembered that MACNA was supposed to be in Ft Lauderdale this year, so got excited. But the dates don't coincide :(

Dude, when are you coming down again? We should probably see about making some sort of plans if Richard or myself are going to be in town.
Pompano's a pretty nice area. There are great beaches around lighthouse point (with some snorkeling in areas if I remember correctly) and it's just a 30-40 minute ride down south on 95 to get to Rikkenbaker causeway which leads you out to the Miami Seaquarium and farther out to some fantastic beaches on Key Biscayne. Just a little north of Pompano you can find Deerfield beach and pier, which is a pretty popular place to go hang out, people watch, and take in some good food at JB's on the Beach or the small beachside bar. There are a number of small mom-and-pop fish stores you could visit (WHAT? I visit local aquarium shops all the time when I'm traveling!) and of course you could visit the Allfish Emporium in Tamarac (not too far away from Siptang's place), but...I would warn you....it's a fun place to go LOOK, but their livestock is almost always in sad shape.
In terms of "things to do," we're very much a beach town in Deerfield and Pompano. Very laid back. Go to the beach, watch the people, swim, paddleboard, that sort of thing. Depending on the time you get here, we've got Sunfest in the beginning of May at West Palm, and the Deerfield Ren-fest is going on right now until March 17th. Of course, you have your standard small-town fare: Malls, movie joints, teens hanging out behind grocery stores, that sort of thing.

Hey!! I'm so glad you so this because I know how FB message doesn't work for you.
The dates are 3/29 to 4/5. We could definitely make plans. Something like catching dinner earlier in the week would be great.
I'd happily spend a day or a few hours with either of you or both of you doing interesting fishy things if you would want while they (mom and sister) lie on the beach like motionless whales.Lol.
We're definitely going to have to check out lighthouse point and Key Biscane. We were also planning a day trip down to Key West. However, our hotel is right on the beach and knowing how lazy we are I have a *slight* feeling in me that we're gonna be like "Meh, this beach is great! No need to go or see or do anything else anywhere else!".
Ha, this will be fun.
