Welcome...

and Thank You for stumbling onto this humble blog known as the 26th Parallel. Named for the latitude in which South Florida is centered on, it will be basically what the title says it is, a "somewhat random" collection of thoughts and opinions. They will be based mainly on my interests which cover everything from sports and music to politics (mainly Cuba and South Florida related) and other South Florida, national, and world topics. Basically, it will be like a good Cuban ajiaco, a little bit of everything thrown into the stew.

Hope you find some interesting material here, and please make sure you drop me a line in the comments section or via e-mail.
