Escaped the Rain

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (111827) • Gainesville, Florida 18 Mar

Actually, it was coincidental that I escaped the rain, but a while ago I planned a weekend getaway to Disney World to celebrate that green Irish holiday. Yes, I know...I'm at Disney again! How many freaking times can a person go...

I Just Went And Did a Thing

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (111827) • Gainesville, Florida 8 Mar

No, I’m not talking about going and using the bathroom. Haha I just brought home our newest member of the family, Tinkerbell. She’s the cute little puppy in the photo. Tink’s mom, the larger dog in the photo, was either an...

A Pie in the Face

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (111827) • Gainesville, Florida 5 Mar

Well, in this case, it was a cake in the face. I don’t know how or when this silly antic got started, but it somehow has become tradition to surprisingly hit my son in the face with pie or cake on his birthday every year. He...

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (111827) • Gainesville, Florida 5 Mar

A missed opportunity. I am in West Palm Beach in south Florida this weekend celebrating my son’s 20th birthday. Through conversation here on myLot, I just realized fellow myLotter Dianne (@DianneN) is also in south Florida, in the...

On my backpacking adventures with my son, we have to carry all of our gear on our backs, since we hike for great distances in some of the most remote areas of the state. This gear includes our sleeping shelter. In most other...

Just returned from 5 days in the wilderness with my son on our annual backpacking trip. And yes--since I know you're wondering--Florida does have wilderness. It's not all beaches and palm trees like people think it is! lol. We...

It All Makes Perfect Sense

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (111827) • Gainesville, Florida 19 Feb

I came across the meme in the photo the other day, and burst out laughing as I read it. It all made perfect sense to me. We live in a crazy, messed-up world, and sometimes to succeed you have to be just a little bit crazier than...

Sushi Donut

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (111827) • Gainesville, Florida 18 Feb

When we were at Epcot at Walt Disney World on Valentine's Day, the theme park was celebrating its annual Festival of the Arts. It's part of the reason we chose Epcot over the other three Disney theme parks, because we love...

Vertigo

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (111827) • Gainesville, Florida 12 Feb

Yesterday at about mid-day my vertigo kicked in hard. It's been a long time since I've had it this bad. I felt nauseous most of the day from the dizziness, and it was hard to walk a straight line. I finally had to go to the store...

Are You Finally Thawing Out?

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (111827) • Gainesville, Florida 7 Feb

I meant to post this over the weekend, but you know...life sometimes gets in the way and we forget to do things. Anyway, I came across this temperature map of the US last Friday. It showed that basically the entire country was...

A Fun Week

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (111827) • Gainesville, Florida 4 Feb

I had a great week over these past several days! My week started ho-hum on Monday and Tuesday, with nothing exciting going on, but then fellow myLotter Karen (@FourWalls) got a hold of me and said she was kidnapping me on...

Yesterday, I wrote a discussion called Only in America about a theme park attraction dedicated to shooting automatic weapons for fun (which ironically is located in Florida, of all places). Today's discussion is more focused on...

Most of you who know me here on myLot know that I spend a lot of time at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. I call it my second home, or my home away from home. And although Disney is my favorite theme park, Orlando is home to many...

Woke to the Smell of Bacon Cooking

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (111827) • Gainesville, Florida 18 Dec

Normally I am the breakfast guru. Every weekend (except for when I'm out of town on vacation or at paintball tournaments), I get up on Saturdays and Sundays and cook a huge breakfast feast for the girls and I. Eggs, grits,...
