I love dogs. My dog Jimi is a 16 year old Miniature Daschund "hotdog."

I also cannot forget the Nascar race here in Homestead, Miami. It is in November. Some friends and I are always there every year for the past 20 years. We start the grill at 8 am sharp with a superb breakfast to get the day started.
