Dinner at World Resources in South Beach was terrific. The salad with miso dressing featured exquisite greens; the ginger scallops came with scallions, bell peppers and onion in a tasty broth with rice on the side. The restaurant is on Lincoln Road Mall, so we ate outside. After a quick stop at Score, dessert was at Gelateria Parmalat. The chocolate gelato was incredible--almost as creamy as ice cream. Bright lighting and modern design made the visit to this upscale dessert outpost fun. I loved the Parmalat balloons anchored from the counter.

The drive back and forth was again quick and easy, but the radio selection in the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area has become terrible. I always used to listen to Zeta 94, a modern and alternative rock station. This station changed formats, so I found Y100, but the mix on this one is strange. They alternate modern rock with urban R&B, resulting in a sequence with no continuity or momentum. You can't have "Somebody Told Me" by the Killers followed by a slow urban track followed by Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." I'm all for diverse formats, but this is like sticking a "Golden Girls" rerun in the middle of two World Series highlight reels.

Back to NYC today. Looks like a long flight--winds are out of the west at FLL, which would mean taking off to the west (and out of the way); winds at EWR will be out of the southwest, so we'll have to circle around and land from the north. Of course, Continental is at Terminal C, the north end of the airport, so we'll have to taxi all the way back.
