Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 15 Mar

As many of you know, I frequently visit Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, which is normally about an hour and a half drive from my home. This past Friday, an impromptu trip was taken as a result of a favorable work schedule...

To File or Not To File

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 1 Mar

Do you think Elon Musk and DOGE will get rid of the IRS by April, or should I go ahead and file my taxes? The answer could have profound implications on my future well-being. I'm kind of rooting for Elon on this one. What...

Hidden Fees

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 1 Mar

I often do a lot of traveling around the country, and as a result I am a member of a certain hotel loyalty/rewards program. So I tend to stay at that brand's hotels when I can due to the rewards program and other perks. In a...

The Cycle of Life in Suburbia

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 1 Feb

At the back of my house I have a big screen-in porch with outdoor furniture, and I like to sit out there in the cool of the morning or late evening and enjoy coffee while taking in the beautiful views of the meadow and woods...

Utility Consumption--How Much Do You Use?

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 26 Jan

I've got way too much time on my hands this morning! After going through and paying bills on Friday night, I left a pile of papers to be filed this weekend. Well, I finally got around to it this morning, and as I was about to file...

Cold Winters

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 25 Jan

There are cold winters, and then there are cold winters. I was born and raised in Florida, and choose to continue to live here partly so I don't have to deal with frigid winter temperatures. I know millions of northerners...

Spring Cleaning

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 18 Jan

Today was forecast to be a gloomy, dreary and rainy day as the Polar Vortex starts making its way down into the Deep South, so I didn't really make any plans to do anything today. But I did wake up feeling energetic and motivated,...

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 18 Jan

Each year when the family vacations at Disney World for the Christmas/New Years holidays, we like to make dinner reservations at the various themed restaurants on the theme park properties. The entire Disney World complex probably...

Free TV

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 11 Jan

Christmas 2025 came awfully early this year! Let me explain: Back when I was on vacation between Christmas and New Years, my boss had texted me and asked me if I wanted a tv. I told him I would get with him when I returned from...

A Perfect Meme for Me

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 5 Jan

Have you ever come across a meme that described you perfectly? My daughter sent this gem to me recently, and it describes me perfectly. I am the type of person who can literally nap anytime, anywhere, and under almost any...

Made Entirely Out of Chocolate

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 4 Jan

During my annual Christmas/New Year's vacation to Disney World in Florida, I took a day to stroll around and visit several of the three dozen resort hotels on the property. I focused on the resorts in the immediate area of Epcot,...

Popcorn Buckets

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 28 Dec

In recent years Disney has started offering collectible popcorn buckets at its theme parks. Some of them are just so-so, but a few of them are pretty awesome. I'm not a popcorn bucket collector by any means, but I will buy one if...

How Much Would You Pay for Concert Tickets?

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 21 Dec

I used to think it was preposterous for people to pay outrageous prices for concert tickets to see their favorite musical act. Then, Taylor Swift came around with her Eras tour and it seemed everybody was dropping their entire...

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 23 Nov

The past month and a half have been a whirlwind for me with so many different things going on. Many of you have noticed that I haven't been here much lately, and it's just because there's been so much going on in my world around...

Service Fees on Tickets

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 19 Oct

My daughter and I are avid hockey fans, and watch NHL hockey games all the time. Our favorite team is the Tampa Bay Lightning, whose home ice arena is about 2 hours away from where we live. We usually try to go see 5-6 games live...

Safe From Hurricane Milton.

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 10 Oct

Many people have been messaging me and asking if I’m okay. Just wanted to let everyone know that I am safe. Where I live in Florida was just outside of—and north of—where the hurricane made landfall. Surprisingly, we felt very...

It's Never Too Early to be Thinking About Halloween

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 5 Oct

Now that October is finally upon us, it's time for me to switch gears and start thinking about Halloween. I know...it's still 4 weeks away, but when you live in Florida and don't really have a Fall season to look forward to, you...

Safe from Hurricane Helene

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 27 Sep

I paid zero attention to this storm, as the forecast track consistently modeled the storm impacting Tallahassee directly. Big mistake. What I didn't pay attention to was the immense size of this storm, and the fact that some...

The Epcot theme park at Walt Disney World is currently hosting its wildly popular annual Food & Wine Festival, and part of the festival includes a concert series called "Eat to the Beat" (I wrote about this in a previous post)....

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123118) • Gainesville, Florida 24 Aug

Food is always a great and fun topic on myLot. Many of you are always discussing your daily meals and commenting on the meals of others. One of the things I routinely talk about when it comes to food is bacon. I just cannot stress...
