12. I didn't live in a rough neighborhood...

I lived on Bayshore Drive, just a block or so from the Coconut Grove bank and the swanky dank Mayfair. In fact, I think the Rastafarians were living in what had formerly been Bayshore Recording Studios.. not sure. But they tuned their steel drums all the time, and I would leave the door to the balcony in the apt. open to hear them, and I used to watch them building their ark all the time.

I miss going to the beach. I used to go into work early, early in the morning, get off early in the afternoon, and go sleep on Cape Florida... until I was harassed by some guys there.

...life is sometimes different for women.
