I went to Fort Lauderdale this past weekend for the grand finale of the NASL Championship SeriesFort Lauderdale Strikers v My Minnesota StarsThis would be Leg 2 with the Stars holding a 3-1 lead from Leg 1What a crazy whirl-wind trip!But would you want it any other way?Left my house at 530am Sat Oct 29.Rocketed straight south to Miami via jet aeroplane arriving at High Noon.Departing MSP it was 35 degrees.Arriving MIA it was 85 degrees.Joined some other travelers and jumped in a rented black Crown Vic cop car headed back north a few miles to Ft Lauderdale.Drove past both the Fishing Hall of Fame and the Swimming Hall of Fame.Dreamed of the Babe Winkelman (empty beer cans & rusty lures) and Mark Spitz (speedos & mustache wax) exhibits I was missing.Instead of the hotel we went straight to a bar.Called Maguires of course.The Russian waitress dressed as a silver robot for Halloween.I wanted to ask if she was wearing silver underwear too, but thought better of it.I am a gentleman after all.Met up with many other
