Currently residing in Orlando with my husband and three furry children, I am a marketing professor at Full Sail University. While the beach is not at my backdoor, I appease the need for saltwater by driving less than an hour to my hometown. I miss the shore, but visit it as often as possible. The sound of the waves, the tingle of the sun, and the taste of the salt can always calm my soul.
Being that I've spent my entire life in Florida, I'm pretty familiar with the every day news events. I've tracked the stories that cross our television airwaves, newspapers, and internet sites. And after years of analysis, I'm confident in staying that everything, and I mean everything, happens in Florida.
Let me explain....
Take any news story as an example. It doesn't matter where it took pace, what happened, and when it happened...it is either directly or indirectly related to Florida. The person was originally from Florida, the plan started in Florida, the event happened in Florida, someone knew someone who was from Florida. I am 100% confident in the fact that Florida is at the heart of all things that seem to go wrong (and some right) with this country...and with this blog, I intend to prove just that.
Remember the ballot debacle during the Bush/Gore presidential race? The ballots in question were from Florida. The hijackers from September 11th? They went to school in Florida. The trainer recently killed by a killer whale at SeaWorld? Orlando, Florida.
Maybe it's something in the water or maybe some people have gotten too much sun...either way, Florida provides a hotbed of newsworthy events. So sit back, relax, and join me as I review life in the Sunshine State.
