After two painful losses Orlando finally one a finals game last night. Game three, in Orlando, was compelling as usual due to the tied score through out the first three quarters.

Bryant didn’t play as much which makes you wonder if the games are rigged considering the first two games consisted of so much “athleticism” from him.

Either way Orlando (the team and the city) was thrilled and the bars stayed open to three.

My stance has received 0 comments thus far while our column on roller-coasters is apparently very popular.

For journalists, bloggers and writers in the Washington and Santa Clara area - SPJ’s Narrative Writing Workshop.

I attended this workshop when it was in Gainesville, Florida and have recommended it to friends ever since. They teach you how to write about the most mundane topics in a way that keeps readers hooked. Also, it is not very expensive to attend.

My plans to spend a few months in this wonderful city this summer are going well. As soon as I have a concrete date of departure from Orlando I will update everyone on what I’ll be doing there. The important thing is to keep your fingers crossed for me =)
