The following piece was to appear in a Miami magazine (which shall remain nameless) that never got beyond its first issue which was to include a story on a Miami chopper builder, a downtown jeweler, and a local bikini designer. The parentheticals are my comments after-the-fact.Let me tell you a true story about a young woman who got up early one morning looking for a fish market and ended up on the cover of a magazine.It's six o'clock on a Sunday morning.

Before you spend a lot of money for a new pair of ice hockey skates, first consider your level of play among two basic categories: the recreational skater and the amateur hockey player. Chances are, you will fall somewhere within these two groups and finding the right skate for you can save you plenty.1.)The recreational skater, one who enjoys ice skating as an occasional pass-time, would not necessarily require a high-end hockey skate like those designed for amateur league play. On the other hand, the same skater should not compromise comfort and safety merely to save a few dollars. One could easily find a suitable pair of hockey skates from a major manufacturer without spending a lot of money and...

Honoring individuals for their achievements may say a great deal about the person but can also demonstrate the sincere appreciation of the one awarding and recognizing the recipients' success.

Remember how simple it was to buy fuel for your car? There was one brand called gasoline or petrol, but today you go to the pump station and have to decide upon unleaded regular, unleaded silver and unleaded platinum or they come with numbers like unleaded supreme 98 and super 95. Why is the lead out? Why did they ever put it in? Apparently gasoline has no lead to begin with? That was when you could buy one kind: gasoline. Simple, easy and no nonsense. When and why did they put the lead in just to take it out again? And why does it now cost more to remove what was not there in the first place and later added to further remove? The answer lies somewhere with environmental issues but the question...

And they had the combined mental toughness and discipline of former FEMA Director Michael "Brownie" Brown. That they went 1-4-1 in Turin is no surprise. Keith Tkachuk embarrassed himself throughout the tournament with worse hands than Daniel Day Lewis in My Left Foot, and Mike Modano humiliated himself complaining about his hotel arrangements afterward. They were supposed to suck, and they did.But what the heck happened to Canada? I called a repeat Canadian gold in this very space a couple weeks ago, and, um, well, not so much. (You may remember...

One of the biggest crazes to ever hit children and teenagers of our generation has been skateboarding. But how many of you know that it actually started as early as the 1950s and its popularity coincided with the surfing mania in California at that time? That's true. In those early days, skateboards were all homemade and made of wooden planks that were attached to roller-skate trucks and wheels. It wasn't even known as skateboarding yet, rather as "sidewalk surfing." It's best practitioners were guys who simply imitated the styles and moves of the top surfers of the time. Some people say skateboards merely evolved from "crate scooters" which looked exactly like a skateboard except that it had...
