Miss me?

I have been on vacation in sunny Florida and am now back to renew my blog. Trying to write from 1200 miles from my desktop proved to be a difficult undertaking plus I've been told not to give up much of your personal life, like we are not home, to cyberspace. While my circle of friends is quite small and only a select few can read about my adventures in retirement, you can't take any chances.

Now that I'm back I will report out on my first long stay in God's waiting room, aka South Florida.
What I will say is that it was great to be out of the cold northeast during the freeze that lasted about 2 weeks.Timing is everything.

Upon my return I sat for a better part of the morning to pay bills. I noticed that my XM Sirius radio bills have come due for our 2 cars. $298 for 1 year! That is outrageous so I called to cancel one of the subscriptions, spoke to 2 representatives with very heavy out-sourced accents and when all was said and done got the second subscription for 1/2 price. Still a lot for not a lot of content but like the money I saved on switching to generic shave cream, it is a savings.

Signed
Frugal in retirement
