It's a beautiful morning here in South Beach and a great start to the week. Temperatures this week will be between 79 - 85 degrees (highs). Rain is forecasted for Friday.

This is a great time of the day to be on the beach. The waves are nice and calming, the sun is still hiding partially behind some clouds, a nice cool breeze is swirling and there are still more birds than people around.

Don't get me wrong, large crowds bring a special beauty to the beach but the quiet and peacefulness of these earlier hours make this a great time to relax, meditate, reflect and think about the future.

It's finally here, the Sony Ericsson Tennis Open Women's Final with Venus Williams and Kim Clijsters...two of my favorite players. This is my first live tennis match in last 6 years or so when my yearly visits to the US Open in Flushing New York ended. On the schedule for today are: * Womems's Final * Men's Doubles Finals * Special Exhibition to benefit Chile...not Haiti - $25 and scheduled to begin at 5PM. Right now we're waiting for a special presentation and for the women to come out. The audience is streaming in slowly.

Well, it looks like waiting till the last minute to get tickets to one of the biggest tennis tournaments isn't the best idea. I checked the web then called the Sony Ericsson Open last night for tickets for today but they were sold out except for Grounds Passes.

I decided not to go for a Grounds Pass but fortunately I was able to get tickets for the Women's Final and Men's Doubles Finals for next Saturday. I'm looking forward to that.
