The Many Lives Of Lucie Arnaz Luckinbill
Lucie Arnaz Luckinbill is an actor, singer, dancer, and producer. She has been married to the talented actor, playwright and director Larry Luckinbill for 40 years.
They have 5 marvelous children and most recently two amazing grandchildren. Lucie started her career in showbiz as the daughter of the legendary Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.
But as we all know, famous parents only takes you so far. Lucie has had a steady career in TV, film, and theatre. What’s even more remarkable is that even though Lucie is now more in demand as ever, she is an extreme activist in both politics and the environment.
TV personality Steve Greenberg and PR expert Lois Whitman-Hess, of the Lying on the Beach podcast, recently talked to Lucie about how she successfully does it all.

Then and Now
Apologies to the person, or website, where I found these precious treasures. I can’t remember who you are. These photos remind us that nothing happens overnight.
You Are Finally Going To Learn How To Solve A Rubik’s Cube
I remember when there were two types of Americans, those that could solve Rubik’s Cube, and those who couldn’t. That was 30 years ago.
Even though we don’t talk about it much anymore, those two groups still exist. Robbie Gonzalez of Wired magazine, decided enough is enough.
He is going to show you eight steps in the above video that is going to help you solve the puzzle faster and faster.
For those of you who don’t remember, Rubik’s Cube is a 3-D combination puzzle that was invented in 1974, according to Wikipedia. It was invented by Erno Rubik, a Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture. The puzzle made its way to the United States in 1980 thanks to Ideal Toy Corp. Three hundred and fifty (350 million) Rubik’s Cube were sold as of January 2009. Some say it’s still one of the best selling toys.
Here is the Wired story.

The Teacher Wears Prada
I couldn’t believe my eyes today. I received an alert from Master Class, the online classroom, that Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue, and the creative director of Condé Nast, was teaching a course on leadership and creativity.
What? How could that be? I never thought the woman, who has always been portrayed as a block of ice, was going to spend her time sharing information with the common man/woman.
I had to see what this was all about. I am a yearly member of Master Class, so I was able to access the course immediately.
I spent a few hours today listening to Anna Wintour talk about her life, family, career, aspirations, mentors, team members, new hires, the changes in the editorial world, designers, models, and celebrities.
She certainly didn’t act like the woman Meryl Streep portrayed in the “Devil Wears Prada.” Knowing many strong women in the business world, I’m sure Anna Wintour was demanding, but not anymore forceful than most successful bosses.
I can’t emphasize enough how important it is for most young people to take this course. Just like the podcast I posted in DigiDame two weeks ago, when I interviewed Frank O’connell, Anna Wintour shared career tips that were invaluable for anyone who seriously wants to do well.
The only requirement is for the student to have an open mind and be willing to learn.
Good luck!

Munich and the Surrounding
Bavarian Countryside
Family and friends ask me why I travel as much as I do. There is a simple answer to that. “To see the world while I can.” I love to photograph the unexpected.
I love showing others that the world is filled with wonderful surprises that bring us all together in peace and harmony. I never expected that Munich and the Bavarian countryside would be so welcoming. I think we all now understand how a very few can destroy it all. Do something to protect what we all love and want.
Hurricane Hunters
If you live in Miami, you often hear TV meteorologists talk about the great work of hurricane hunters. I couldn’t believe these folks existed. It just seemed like science fiction. I wanted to understand more so I looked them up on Wikipedia. “Hurricanes hunters are able to measure the interior barometric pressure of a hurricane and then provide accurate wind speed information–data needed to accurately predict hurricane development and movement.
“Hurricane hunters are made up of aircrews that fly into tropical cyclones to gather weather data. In the United States, the organizations that fly these missions are the United States Air Force Reserve’s 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Hurricane Hunters. Such missions have also been flown by Navy units and other Air Force and NOAA units.”
The whole process is quite remarkable. I recorded the NBC TV news explanation to show you how hurricane hunters work.
This is where Hurricane Dorian hit. This is 90 miles from Nassau. Nassau was spared.
Miami media reports all the airports and docks in the Bahamas were destroyed. Only helicopters can get through. No way to deliver all the goods being donated by private citizens all over the United States.
A smart family from Jacksonville, FL, parked their smart car in the kitchen of their home to keep it safe during Dorian. I call that safe at home.
Getting Back To Normal
“After The Storm” by Eliot Hess
Just read about this on FB. A legendary hotel and event space gone.
A Gay Reporter With A Gay Beat “Made America Gay Again”
Steve Rothaus
Lying on the Beach podcast with Steve Greenberg and Lois Whitman-Hess
It’s very possible that one day there is going to be a movie about Steve Rothaus. If we were smart we would buy the rights right now. He is a living legend. At the Miami Herald, he became (one of) the first dedicated LGBT mainstream journalists nearly 20 years ago.
He probably was the first, but Rothaus is too modest to allow us to proclaim that. Rothaus has been quoted as saying that he wanted “the Herald to be out front, ahead of all the other news organizations in South Florida in terms of how we covered the LGBT community and how we treated people.”
TV personality Steve Greenberg, and PR expert Lois Whitman-Hess, of the Lying on the Beach podcast, talked to Steve about his remarkable barrier breaking career

Preparing For Dorian
Local gas station out of gas
See baggie on pump. That means no gas.
A gas station without cars is just weird.
Tap Tap restaurant under construction. Hmmm.
Lobster Bar and Sea Grille boarded up
Shutters on all sides
The building looks so different.
Flood pumps all ready.
Pipes all laid out.
I hope the pumps work.
Cruise ship arrives before the sun comes up to make a quick turnaround.
So peaceful before the heavy winds.
Very few people are sticking around.
