Greetings from Miami Beach!
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum / You came along and everything started’in to hum / Still it’s a real good bet / The best is yet to come…
This city has never been my scene. It’s here that my dad Kenny has decided to retire, so knowing I’d been down south last weekend, we cashed in some “miles” and pulled together a last-minute trip to bring young Jonah down to see his Granddad.
Traveling to Florida during spring break is something I haven’t done since I was a boy Jonah’s age. At times all of us have gotten a touch cranky. I had actually planned on taking a week off the show fearing a wonky internet and family distractions, but last night’s dinner in Little Havana was inspiring and I wanted to send heartfelt and grateful vibes into the universe.
Over coffee I was reminded of when I was Jonah’s age visiting my 94-year-old Great Grandfather. They would sit him in front of the family and ask him to tell stories of the old country.
Life is such a fucking trip…I got to run back to it. Long live Sidel dudes.
