You wouldn't know it's one of the busiest Nola style musical restaurants in all of Naples. This, is why my Summers stay jammed. Catch up before the crowds return.

1st day, 4th client, 3rd and final training for the day.

My view of bars tends to be different than most others. I'm here before they open these days.

Rather than closing them at my age, I open them.

Responsible Vendor Training in SW Florida. I have only a day, to get My Larry on.

It's nice to be a traveling insurance agent again.

So it's a sort of day 3 and it's coming together.

Note, the Bombay Bar and chairs. It's a Proper office. You do need this space. And yes, it's a functional bar I had to stock today. The gray walls are horrible, yes. Art work to come.

We have desks, monitors (these are larger than any TV I owned my first 20 years of being an adult) extra strong chairs, you have met me before.

People, all start tomorrow. Hence the fully stocked bar. Oh please God, don't make me a manager but let me do my job.

Bring on the business. We are open and ready to handle it now.

It's a sort of move in/work day.

It's been 3 yrs since I had my own office. Shared work spaces, the house, client hotels, but no set office.

This week, that all changes.

Yeah, it's a mess. But it's coming together. I hang a few things, unpack this, answer a few emails, send a quote; then unpack some more and start the process all over again.

Definitions, definitely change over time. Work, success, progress etc are all very maleable to your situation or outlook.

So here's to growth and success in this new paradigm.

When the news just isn't scary enough.......

Desantis knows, that if another "Ian" level storm hits Florida this year, Citizens will be hitting everyone's wallet to pay for this.

Get ready.......Hurricane Season is less than 90 days away.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis raised some questions Friday when he suggested that Citizens Property Insurance Corp., the state-created insurer, has "not been

The aforementioned article shares just one small aspect of the continuing problem with the insurance market place of today. All companies have their own version of a "Florida Only" company. In this instance, even a company as large as Allstate, is not willing to inject cash into the "Florida" company because of the risks of doing business here. The risk is not just the strange laws that only Florida operates under, but also the risk of hurricanes and the lawsuits they generate.

When the insurance companies quit committing fraud with their appraisals and estimates. When the insurance companies pay the proper amount per the policy language they have created. When individuals and companies quit committing fraud and only attempt to collect on the agreed upon insured items. When the attorney's, contractors and roofers all quit being so greedy. Then, and only then, will we have a stable insurable system here in this State.
