Frank, best of luck in your new place. Hope it starts to feel like HOME real quick...

Wow Frank, this IS a big move. But I'm sure that this winter when you read about all the north easterners shoveling snow and scraping ice, you'll be smiling like the Cheshire Cat!

As you should already be in Florida by now, I wish you all the best. We're all expecting an update on how your relocation went. Don't forget to send some pictures too, if you took any.

Best regards,
Roger

Thanks for the nice notes everyone.

I arrived late yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon.
Drive down was pretty uneventful other than some torrential rain in Georgia.

I can tell you August is not the best time for a slightly overweight (ok, more than slightly) older guy to be carrying stuff up to a second floor condo in Florida.

To make it more interesting, the A/C wasn't working in the Condo, so I couldn't even get cooled off when I was done (got it fixed today).

I did take a few pictures on the way down, although I have to tell you it's a bit tricky driving a U-Haul truck pulling a trailer with a car on it, doing 70 MPH, and trying to take pictures :-)

Bear 1, I'll be happy to take you and Anita up on your offer.

More later, I need some rest.

Frank...I recently found out that I'm in about as much shape as you...heck, rounds a shape the last time I looked...

Glad to hear you landed safe...

Glad to hear you arrived OK, Frank. The winter weather will be quite a contrast to CT. Good luck in your new location.

As promised, a few pictures:

George Washington Bridge, NY





An odd piece of sky somewhere down around the Carolina's. Note the glowing light in the middle of the clowds. It was an wierd greenish/yellow glow.



Getting down where it's flat



Finally made it...


Don't see many of these in CT.


Or these signs (evacuation route)...



Couple more pictures to go...

Pulling into the Condo complex...



Setting up the new Piano World office, note I don't have to go far from the bedroom (ok, I don't even have to leave it).




And the important part...



Ok folks, I'm down here in Pompano Beach/FT Lauderdale area now.

Looking for tuning work, Internet Marketing SEO/SEM consulting, Ecommerce consulting, and piano forums parties

Sorry to hear about your move, Frank. Divorce is never easy. Sorry you lost your house.

Holy moly, Frank, what a change! Hope you get all settled and cozy soon. And, we'll be missing you at the Maine party.

maybe you can come up to Kansas City sometime.. it's only about a million hours by car.

frank,
best wishes for a bright and brilliant new future in this next chapter of your life. new beginnings can be scary, but also thrilling and liberating. may you land on your feet in florida and find prosperity and fulfillment in all that you do.

i guess we won't run into each other in new york and new england very much any more, but i hope there will still be plenty of opportunities to get together (ptg national next summer?)

btw, the condo complex looks very nice.

Please tell me you have a more comfy chair other than what is pictured here!!! Maybe you just hadn't unpacked the multi-position,ergonomically correct chair from the u-haul yet, right??!!

I will personally miss your presence at our local gatherings. I value the opportunity I've had in getting to know you.

I know you will find a tremendous amount of enjoyment in your new location! (and I'm NOT talking about the weather!!)

Thanks Terrytunes/Pique' and everyone else.

Yes TerryTunes, I have a new egonomically correct office chair, just hadn't built it yet.

I do expect to still attend some of the New England events (the Mason & Hamlin tour, the Cape [when they have it again], etc.).

And I hope to find some people down this way who want to host Piano Forums parties.

Actually, I had always figured that PW deserved the penthouse floor of a large and imposing skyscraper. Kinda neat to think that something that reaches so many people can be run out of a PC in somebody's bedroom.

Hope you get settled in quickly, Frank. I'll be envying you when the first snowfall hits. Actually, I envy you now... the condo complex looks wonderful. Is your unit on the lake itself?

p.s. You need to update your profile location.

Well, it is on the top floor of the Condo :-)

The "lake" is a canal, part of the Inland Waterways. The "A" is pretty close to where I am (I'm in the 4th building from the left in the complex).

Hmmmm...

Just a thought...

How many bedrooms do you have to accommodate visitors for piano parties (or what have you) down there?

:p

I am glad to see that you have started to settle in, and wish you everything wonderful from this day forth!

Frank, the thing in the third picture looks like a sun dog. It's caused by ice crystals and sunlight. Usually there are two, one one each side of the sun.

I hope it symbolizes success and happiness in your new home.

Well, I certainly wish you the best. Ft. Lauderdale's classical music scene is pretty non-existent. Maybe you can help get something off the ground there.

Best wishes,
sleepy

Frankie,

Welcome to the south! Now, you're a neighbor! Sorry to hear you're doing this alone, but there is life on "the other side"!

When you get settled, give me a jingle and get us caught up on life in Florida (you old man-you!). At least I "stopped" in Georgia! (LOL)

Paul

Oh, Frank I am late to the party! Congrats on the new place!

When last we met I did have to wonder if Florida was in your future

Best of luck to you and I hope that you threw away all the shovels!
