You don't list a home, you list a house. That's the real world thinking. So, we decluttered and removed our personal effects.

However, we (having been the buyers at one time), really would have liked seeing how the home was used. We're not alone, people will buy a home to enjoy and entertain.

So, I'm including some sights as we would have liked seeing that show us living and enjoying our exploits. Check out some links and videos.

Our website includes lots of family and friends, visiting with us. Click on the link!

I've got a complete YouTube Playlist showing it all, click on the link to see. Hope you enjoy your online visit, eh! There's also a separate YouTube BBQ Playlist showing lots of daily and fun memories.

We're enjoyed 35 years together, and we've seen .. done .. and enjoyed it all. Even thou we all must let go of yesterday, we remember it all.

As in our past, Paulina and I have lived our life and have had our ups and downs, we moved on. While we remember the good times, and enjoy our blessings, it's time for us to "move on" again.

Up until 2016, we spent too much time, effort and money enjoying "the good life". Besides all the responsibility for managing our home and business, we have been thinking about a "better way". Our expenses for our good life, were $400k for 2016.

And, despite our setting up our beloved home, son John wants a simpler life too. So, the simple facts were that we could sell our home, reinvest the proceeds, and enjoy all of our remaining days seeing the USA and ridding ourselves of the time, effort and money.  More specifically, we've decided to invest the proceeds in our tax free bond portfolio, as well as cut our expenses current expenses by $135k (for our home in Tucson, real estate business, vacations, Paulina's BMW. As a result of both our expense reductions, as well as our additional bond/real estate income ($100k-$150k), we will have lots more freedom to spend our time, effort and money enjoying a better "good life".

Our projected expense for our new life is about $100k/year with the rest of going into our savings and investments! 

Besides our adventures in the "Brave New World", we've been having fun. Some fun times and our work (Taxes, Home Prep, etc). Come see some fun memories.

My "Hobby Business" was setup, now the infrastructure will allow me to work on the fun stuff over the coming 4 months, adding my Papa's Recipes and lots of our samples. My goal is to create my online education courses between now and August (Fall Semester opens in September).

We invested about $2,000 for the addition of a 2nd server (backup and development), as well as most of March in setting up the infrastructure to setup and maintain my websites, HomeBASE hosting, and my HomeBASE University. Hated doing all the work, but now I can work on the fun stuff, my recipes, online courses, and more of my personal interests, i.e. recipes, movies, photography, etc. Paulina is now free too, and can spend her time without the hassle of us at home and work.

I'm also busy working on our Plex Server to house all my movies and TV shows. In the past, I used both iTunes and other approaches, but now I want to use Plex to enable us and our extended family to view our library anywhere. I've got about 1,000 movies and 3,000 tv shows to move .. work, but worth it to me. I love my movies, recipes, music, etc.

Paulina, Lucky and I (The We 3) leave for Schroon River on May 1st. So, watch for our new sight seeing adventures next month.

Hey, We'll be busy in April. First, we already had one home showing and we've got another one setup for today (Broker Preview for his client).

I'm already planning on shipping some more personal stuff (clothes, my movie library, my cookbooks, etc). These will be shipped after we leave, but in time for our arrival.

The more we get done now, the easier it will be when the time comes for the "big move". I've already gotten an estimate from the guys who moved us from SaddleBrooke in 2011, .. if we move it all, the expense will be about $8 to $10k. However, we now plan on letting son John keep what he wants, selling some and moving what remains to Schroon River and/or our new home in the Southeast.

Back to the Good Life, we've already got our plans and reservations for some fun stuff too.

Paulina's Birthday (April 4th) at Downtown Kitchen (same as my birthday on March 5th.
Easter Sunday (April 16th). with the family again.

Checkout some memories of both below!

This is my monthly update, depressing? (lol). Well, I enjoy seeing the fun side of life. The reality of it all is that I was getting bored with not doing, and wanted to see if I could resurrect my old work as an independent IT consultant and contractor. So, I have created a new hobby business for users, students and 3rd party vendors. 

Hopefully, even thou there's snow on the roof, the fire in my heart yearns to get back in harness.

My business, where everything old is new again, will provide personal and business applications, as well as consulting and project management. Checkout my new De Lorenzo Times - Online site for more information.

With all that said, we're still enjoying daily life. The past month was, as usual, filled with fun and sun. BTW, we enjoyed a family celebration for my 72nd birthday. Checkout some memories in the shows included. This month, it's get our medial checkups, as well as our home chores done (especially before we head back to the Adirondacks. BTW, I've been building a new "Summertime and the Living is Easy" Playlist for our times since returning from the Adirondacks, should you want to view our exploits.

Daylight Savings and Spring is Here, enjoy!

Hey, life is good .. but it keeps getting better.

I've missed my old days in the Corporate World, as as well as all my adventures as an Independent contractor.

As most of my family and friends know, I have been addicted to personal computers and the online world since the 90's. Back about 5 years ago, we switched from the Windows to the Mac environment.

I've adopted many of my skills to automating lots of personal interests, i.e., cooking, photography, music, etc. Today, I use my online skills for our websites, blogs, remote desktop/tech support and more.

I've been chilled with both our website and YouTube sites, traffic continues. Lord knows why, but I enjoy seeing it all.

​Back in '90, we were thrilled if our Bulletin Board System got a few visitors a day, now it seems that the whole world is watching. Originally, I shared some recipes and photos with a few family and friends, today I have more online friends and visitors than I ever could have imagined. I still enjoy and appreciate all the traffic and hope it will continue. Thanks for "being there".

Recently, I decided to get back to my own work as an independent contractor. So, I setup a site to outline and offer my help again.

I am most interested in providing help with Wordpress sites as well as database applications. In addition to my long time Windows applications, I have been involved in extending my skills and ability in the MAC world. 

Traditionally I have emphasized my application packages, but now I'm really open to doing new and different things, i.e. websites, online database applications for the business and home areas.

I don't really intend to do much work, but it would be nice to provide some help while the spirit is willing, eh.
