What if the girlfriend gets cold?

It can get cold and snowy here and I enjoy using my wits to live well, but most ladies would rather be where it is “civilized” and warm during the really cold months.

We haven’t build our house yet, using several separate buildings. We have an outdoor kitchen which is really nice in the summer with the windows all the way around. But when we’re in the “office” and want something to eat and she’s making it, this is Tina bringing in the meal from the outside kitchen.

So what to do? Due to some unexpected circumstances Tina now has no mother and a condo in Florida. We drove down in her Prius and are enjoying some warm while it can be so cold up north.

What’s it like here? Are you Jewish, No? Almost every one else is in Delray Beach. Oy! I learned a lot about the Jewish people. As Mark Twain said long ago (see below), they are smart, good natured and humorous. They have always valued education very highly, building schools before synagogues if funds were short. They help others. Often Jewish charities are one of the first to quietly arrive at international disasters with assistance, almost never being mentioned in the media, most recently setting up the first medical facility in Haiti after the earthquake. They have strong ethics of personal decency and getting along with others. I feel sorry for people that condemn them and others without taking the time to know anything about them.There are lots of seniors in south Florida. Lots of new 55+ condos being built with perfectly manicured landscaping. “So, who do you belong to?” “Don’t get on the grass,” “Slow down,” “Are you old enough to be here?”
South-east Florida is crowded with lots of late people on 6 lanes of traffic going each way. It’s noisy from fire trucks, ambulances and police cars stopping people. In the areas with lots of senior citizens, people hardly cook. There are lots of restaurants at almost every street corner with many good early bird specials. I love Italian restaurants! Burp! I am available if you want to invite me.
You think it would always be sunny and warm but it can be cold, rainy and windy like today in Florida.

South Florida is also a good low-cost airport. We just booked a trip going to Costa Rica for $69 each way. So we’re getting untangled and getting booked for some fun adventures. You can get 8 day cruises for $499 - almost cheaper than staying home.

They also have many events happening: Wednesday I’m going to a fancy brass band show at the condo. Thursday is the Miami Boat and Yacht Show. Friday is the Garlic Festival. Saturday is the Renaissance Festival.
