My New Life In South Florida


Hello and welcome! My name is Tim and I have recently relocated to Southern Florida from Western Maryland. It has been quite an adventure since I loaded up the Budget rental truck back in September and headed south. I hope that this blog reflects some of the trials and adventures that I and my familiy have been through.


South Florida is a world away from where I came from and I am enjoying it immensely! I talked with a friend of mine today back in PA. He said it was snowing and cold. Ha! 78 degrees and sunny today. Went to the beach in shorts yesterday. Love this weather.
I have to admit that it was tough finding a job here. I moved at the beginning of the economic slowdown and yikes! It took about 8 weeks to find a job. Now I am driving from Deerfield Beach to country of Hialeh to train but that's another story in itself!


I am looking forward to the Pittsburgh Steeler's game on Sunday. I have been lucky to watch most of the games this year as they were televised nationally. The ones that weren't, well I found a great restaurant close by in Deerfield Beach called Muddy Waters. They show all the games, have great foot and great people.


I've enjoyed watching a few Steelers games there. I admit, the Thursday night game was a bit odd. Karoke night and football? There were people singing show tunes while I was watching the game. It was worse then Pink singing the opening theme for Sunday night football last year.


I'm planning on heading to the Museum of Discovery and Science in Ft Lauderdale tomorrow. I want to take my daughters to see "The Day The Earth Stood Still" in the Imax theatre there. Should be a blast!


I'll let you know how it goes.
