This thing is visible from the front yard of my new place in Orlando. The landmark of my community I guess. It rises high above everything else. I think it's a cell tower. Kind of looks like a giant pipe cleaner or bottle brush or toilet snake.

Am all moved into a new place in Orlando now. Been busy the last month going back and forth. Now a lot of unpacking to do.

From my birth mother's Facebook page. I was glad NYT came around and agreed to start delivering the paper to her address. We just met in May and it means a lot to me to do this for her.

Officially get the keys to the new place in Orlando today. Will be posting photos later today now that renovations are done. Final moving day is Jan. 13. Slowly moving stuff between now and then. Can't wait until it's all over.

I've been meaning to tell everyone I found a new place in Orlando (actually outside the city). It's kind of northwest of Orlando and east of Ocoee. I get the keys Dec. 15 and will be all moved in Jan. 13. Looking forward to my new adventure in Orlando. The next chapter in my life soon begins.

Unless you’re lucky enough to have a defined-benefit pension on top of Social Security when you retire — which most US private-sector workers will not — figuring out how to make your money last in retirement can be nerve-wracking.

So Ellen DeGeneres fled the country to England after Trump won the election. Good riddance. I guess money is a wonderful thing. The rest of us stay here and fight. We don't run away when someone we disagree with wins the presidency.
