Yes, I have moved!
Ok…so you may have noticed the recent post that says I have moved to DC. Well that’s right. I have left my job in Fort Myers, Florida with Sony Electronics for an opportunity to work at the Library of Congress (LOC) as a LAMP Developer. This is a contract position and I will be working for CACI International. I have also started a new blog about living in DC. You can follow me over there at Living in the District. This whole process has moved very quickly and I am still settling in. Stick with me while I get going. It shouldn’t be to long before I am back blogging again.
Gone, Not To Far, Now Back
Wow it’s been busy. Work has been taking most of my life since my last post and probably will continue till December 1st. I have been trying not to let it take over so I haven’t been doing any work on the weekends. This Saturday Jen and I are going up to Tampa to see the Buffalo Sabres Vs. Tampa Bay Lighting Hockey Game. I am really excited; I haven’t been to a NHL game in about 2 years.
It’s the end of October and our first cold front has pushed through Southwest Florida. It has been in the 90’s and humid every day and when the temp and humidity drops, even if it’s just to 80 you feel it. Fortunately today when I left for work the temperature was 66. Last night we were able to have dinner on the lanai and it was comfortable.
NHL Center Ice has taken over my TV life. This is pretty much all that I like to do at night time. Throw on a game and work on the computer. The best part is that I have seen all the Buffalo Sabres Games so far, though 3-5 isn’t anything to brag about. 14 channels of hockey probably was the best $149.00 I spent (at least on TV programming).
I have ordered my new TV! It’s a Sony (go figure) 50’ SXRD Rear Projection (Model: KDS-50A3000). This is going to make watching TV so much better. Jen thinks it’s to big but I guarantee she will love it. I can’t wait to see the Wink News cast in high def and Hockey. I sense more TV watching coming on.
Published Photographer
I am finally got one of my photographs published. Yea! Two weeks ago “schmap” (schmap.com) contacted me asking if they could use one of my picture I had posted on flickr. Couple days ago they sent me a link to the photo and the write up that they have. The picture represents Fort Myers and Cape Coral in their travel guide. They have the following write up accompanying the photo,
Located along the Caloosahatchee River, Fort Myers is the heart of Southwest Florida. A paradise with a lovely Southern pace and in harmony with nature, it is bordered by white seashell beaches, tropical island sanctuaries and crystal waters.
The photo is of an early morning Storm at over the Pier at Fort Myers Beach (Florida) looking towards Sanibel and Captiva islands. I have this photo framed in my living room and it was always one of my favorites from the Fort Myers area.
If you are interested in purchasing this photo please contact me.
Visit Florida
We are off to “The Florida Aquarium” in Tampa, Florida then over to the International Plaza to take advantage of the Florida Tax Fee week. It’s back to school shopping for most children in Florida since the school year starts in about 15 days. I’ll post pictures when I get back.
Update: here are those pictures that I said I would post. All in all the Aquarium and the Mall was cool. I kind of Like the downtown Tampa area. At least now I know where I have to go when I see a Buffalo Sabres Hockey Game.
