    Well today we leave for good this house we've lived in for 35 years. Last week we closed on our house in The Villages. I'm heading down there for 10 days to meet the moving van and get the house settled. I hope to get cable and internet set up but I may be off line for most of the time and possibly not be able to get my picks in next week.
    Mary will be training her replacement for the next couple of months so we'll still be in Michigan most of the time until Christmas. Looking forward to the golf cart life. Glad our past winter was the last winter we have to go through in north country.

    Mike,

    Just in case, you can "Edit my Information" and select to allow the commish to edit your picks. If you do that, you can change the selection back at any time. I know I am not picking as well as you but if you agree and make the change, I will give you the same picks as me to at least keep you from having a zero week.

    Gipper you arrived down here at the tail end of the tropical monsoon season.... just in time for seven months of beautiful weather while your buddies up north are scraping and sloshing.

    Welcome aboard!

    Gipper,

    We will be staying at our place in Hobe Sound for most of November. If you get yourself caught up in any of those risque actvitities just give Ralphie and I a call. We can be there in a couple of hours and we'll bring beer! :D

    Well, it's still hard to believe that I'm living south of Gator Bill :)
    We spent a month trying to pack up a lifetime of possessions and new we have just a few days to get the stuff unpacked.
    On Tues. I leave here and meet Mary at the Detroit airport and we fly to San Diego for the rest of the week. We won't be full time at The Villages until after Christmas.
    Today I'm heading to a game watch with the ND Club of the Villages. From what I've read there are 52 alums here. Wonder if any are my classmates.
    Got my cable hooked up on Thurs. in time to watch the Tigers gag. I'm looking forward to todays college games.
    George, we'll be back for Thanksgiving week. What brand of beer can you bring? :lol:

    I know that this is a long shot but what the heck. Anyone in need of a car for the 1st 8 mos. of 2015. I've got a 2014 Lacrosse that is on a 24 mo. lease. I'll have about 13,000 miles left on the lease for the 8 months. The car comes with 3 free oil changes and maintenance service as well as free XM radio. Payments are 329 a month.

    The long goodbye to Michigan is over. We arrived here at The Villages Sat. on our 45th anniversary. The weather has been outstanding since we arrived but we know that it isn't always this good.
    So many things to do. Changing insurance, car registrations, driving licenses, health insurance, voter registration etc. I guess it's good to be kept busy.
