I have lived in Florida now for a little over one year.
Advertisements [?]
On April 21st, I celebrated my one year anniversary since leaving Kansas City and moving to Orlando, Florida.

The GOOD:
I have a J-O-B and it pays well.
I can be from my door to my 77 year old Mom's door in 90 minutes.
That's VERY good because she loves me and I love her and I know she likes having me close.
My aunt who is 80+ and my cousins are here as well, and they love me and I love them back.

The BAD:
I'm in freaking Florida.

My number ONE observation about living in Florida?
Jesus, is VERY-VERY popular down here.
Jesus is BIGGER than RUSH and Hannity combined.
That's HUGH!
Series1111!
Jesus, apparently is the KING of all media down here.
In Orlando, I have zero sports talk radio (which is important to a sports hand job like me) but JESUS has FM and AM covered like a glove.
That's not fair.

I'm not sure I like it here, but we do what we have to do.

I would much rather be back in Kansas with Proud2BLibinKansas, but that's the way things are right now.
I miss my little loft in the City Market in downtown Kansas City, but I missed my Mom too, so it's a wash.
But, they opened a Burrito Bros. store in the City Market where I lived, and it has a cult following, and that pisses me off.
MMmmmm Burritos.
And I'd kill for some Chile Verde from La Mesa.

Reporting from the front lines in JesusLand, your humble correspondent, GMBMC.

More to come.
