Last but not LEAST

My birthday was celebrated in Miami and here are the PICTURES. My friends Natalie and Madeline made sure I had some good times between murders. I hope you enjoy them. There was champagne involved.

Neil turned me on to this!

... They call it MURDER

Gun Battle in KC, MO

The guys of KC SWAT Street Narcotics Unit were involved in two shoot outs yesterday. Two of the officers that I followed for most of a year were shot. One was treated and released the other wasn't so lucky and was rushed into surgery. I've been in touch with two of the Sgt's and the officer is doing well today. His long term prognosis is still unclear.

It was also one year to the day that I filmed the Street Narcotics Unit getting shot at while serving a narcotics search warrant. If we were there in KC filming the 4th season of SWAT we would have been with them... again. I think they should all take the day off in 2008.

These guys put their lives on the line every day they hit the streets. They are - real American heroes.

Happy Monday

Enjoy this. Was interrupted last night during my birthday partying with a murder! Can you believe that?

So anyway... there are birthday party pix to come in a day or two!

The Difference

Above is South Beach Miami. This is what everyone thinks of when I say I'm working in Miami. Not so much.
This is from Overtown just north of downtown Miami. This is where I have been doing most of my work. Really. Not so different from Baltimore... just a different shade of brown.

Countdown

5 days until my birthday! How am I going to celebrate? Hopefully it won't be standing over a dead body.

Maybe I'll get a new tattoo.

Sunday Dinner

Sunday night was my first real night off in weeks. So I enjoyed it with some new friends at Prime One Twelve in South Beach. We sampled a few dishes including Tuna Tartare with Quail Egg, Steak Tartare, Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and NY Strip. All of this was washed down with Champagne.
The restaurant is located in The Browns Hotel - back in 1915 it was Miami Beach's very first hotel. And I'm told that as recent as 10 years ago it was a crack house!

Being Driven Insane

Slowly...

Big Week for Killing

This was one crazy week. I worked more than 110 hours in the past 8 days... I really did stop counting. One stretch was 39 hours straight and another was 27.

There were 6 murders and we covered 5 of them. I rode in a truck with with one of the killers - elbow to elbow - making small talk as we toured various crime scenes with the detectives.

Out on the Town

Made the rounds last Sunday night. Hit several Miami spots with my coworkers and the gals of the O (the Oceanaire Seafood Room). We went to Finnegan's River, Ted's Hide A Way, The Room & Purdy Lounge for old school hip-hop nite.
