On March 1st, my family and I are removing ourselves from the frozen tundra of West Allis, Wisconsin and relocating to the sunny beaches of Port Saint Lucie, FL! There are lots of reasons; crime, taxes, and weather being primary ones, but really it's just because we wanted too. My wife and I are at a point in our lives where we want to be where we're going to be. Does that make sense? I don't want to cut on Wisconsin, because it's a great place with a lot of great people. It's where I grew up and I will always love it. But sometime in the next few years we will be buying another house and that one will be the one we grow old in. So all things being equal, we wanted to be somewhere warm and near family. So, Florida, here we come! Wish us luck! Now, where's my uke... My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth...

Conga, thanks man! When you come down to visit there will be an extra room for you. Just make sure you bring a drum and that bamboo sax. :wink: Jungle Trader, I should see more of Benz since we'll only be 10 blocks apart! I can't wait to see how knowing him will effect my art. Kikekeki, I think we'll like it. And you're right, the Hukilau will be very close. :) Hewey, new bar plans are already in place. The Leeward Lounge will live on! Since I am a lot closer to you now I expect to see you at all my parties. Josh, we have to hang out soon! There's a good chance we'll see you on the 9th, assuming our place has settled down a bit. Will you be playing my song? :wink: |

He has already effected your art, I've seen his influence in your work. I do understand what your saying, more so once your there. Just make sure you have a hurricane room/basement. |

Hey everyone, we made it! :D There's still a ton of unpacking to do and our AC is broken, but we're in our new house now. We love it! It's a beautiful home and I can't wait to mess it up with all my tiki stuff. :) I've already had a couple of visits from Benzart. I'm hoping the next couple of times we get together will involve carving! Thank you everyone who's responed here, you've made us feel very welcome. Sometime soon I'll have to make a journey around the state and see all of you. To the Haole Kats and Pablus, I'm planning on being at the Mai Kai on the 9th, unless something gets in the way like a pesty old job or something. :wink: J$, you'd better come down and visit!! Now, back to work for me. F |

"basement" what's that?!? Actually, we are too far below sealevel. Someone dug a hole for a basement, and got a pool instead! Welcome to Florida, Finky Family! Ok, now you need to officially change your location to Florida on you id spot... I suppose if your a/c has to be broken, this is the time of year for it :) Glad you're here... See ya around, edited for'humor' [ Edited by: kikekeki 2007-03-03 11:11 ] |

Congratulations, Finkdaddy! I'm so excited for you, I know you've been dreaming and daydreaming about this sort of change for a while now. I'm sure it's going to be a great new life for you & your family, and I can't wait to hear details about your settling in and exploring and building and everything. |

Congratulations, I'm jealous as can be, but I excited that one of us frozen people made it out. From here a broken A/C doesn't sound like an issue- it was 1 F this morning, don't you miss it? JP |
