Well, for those that don't know it, or may have seen me quite for a while, I'm happy to report I now have INTERNET in my new residence. I retired on May 1st, and moved from New Jersey to northern Florida the end of June.

Isn't that a law? If you retire in the snow belt, you have to move to FL?

Congratulations Dave,I guess we won't see you at AMPSEAST or Mosquitocon anymore,but I know it's almost impossible to retire in live in NJ,so best wishes.

Jesse, you're right, the nationals are just up the road a piece.

Anthony, I wouldn't rule out AMPSEAST just yet. I'll probably hitch a ride up with Jose.

Hi Dave,

Congratulations! Very happy for you.

But I'll bet those nasty Floridian winters will get to you after the paradise of NJ... .

Now the real work can begin!!!
