In a recent study more than half of the population (62%) shop online at least once a month.

We were in Miami last weekend for Art Miami and got to visit the new Perez Art Museum which opened last Wednesday. If you're in Miami, don't miss the Museum.   And try to get there while the "Ai Weiwei- According to What?" exhibit is on.

I have to be honest, when I first heard about it, I just assumed he needed the money...so he got a job (let's be honest, between bad management and bad marriages, this wouldn't exactly require a Sherlock Holmes deduction).  In fact, I thought he got one over on the scalpers which to me was even better.
