Why do I love Florida, Jacksonville, the Jaguars? I don’t know, what could it be… Note the case of Michelog Ultra (only low-carb for these ladies!) on the ground behind them, where they thought it would be hidden. God, I miss Jacksonville…

Yay! I’m back FLA for a whole 24 hrs! It was supposed to be about 30 hrs, but Delta canceled my flights and tried to reschedule me to get in late at night. Um no, I booked a 7 am flight for a reason, getting in after 9 pm isn’t going to to work on [...]

I have another blog I’ve dusted off and started posting to, with a hyperlocal focus on the first coast of Florida. So, far, it’s mostly been sports, but that will probably change after Saturday when my beloved Jags get eliminated.

ACC Football: Tampa > Jacksonville
The talking-head sports-wonks in Jacksonville are saying good riddance to the ACC and their decision to move the ACC Championship game to Tampa and Charlotte. Ticket sales in Jacksonville were poor, with the schools’ not selling their allotment and the local market going “ho-hum” and the thought of Boston College and Virginia Tech. This game [...]

It’s pretty obvious from the content of this blog that I live in Jacksonville. Actually, to be specific, I live just outside of Jax, in St. Johns County near the St. Johns River. The communities in this area of the county have a long history thanks to the proximity to the river. There is Fruit [...]
