DrPJax Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I have been away from the board for the past year or so because of some major changes in my career etc. I had been in solo family practice for 15 years and finally just got tired of dealing with insurance companies, outrageous increases in malpractice insurance premiums, never being able to take vacations, etc. Sold my practice and got a nice offer here in Jax beach at a very nice urgent care center, so now I am finally having some time to enjoy life again. Having said all that, I just wish it was our Bills down here this week, with me waiting to hook up with some of the wallers here to drink with me at some of my local watering holes. The Eagles just got into Jax, and I live one min. up the road from the Sawgrass Marriott where they are staying this week. I was watching out my front windows as the main road (A1A) in front of my subdivision was lined by eagle fans waving signs and banners as the police escorted caravan of buses with the eagle players went by on their way to the Marriott. Helicopters have been hovering over the area for the past half hour or so. The eagles are now on espn news giving their press conferences at the hotel. There is a great bar/club in the basement of the Marriott that I go to on weekends occsionally called Champs. I am going to try to go down there later this week to see who is hanging around and partying there,,,,,,maybe run into some eagle players, media, etc. Security is supposed to be pretty tight, but I know some of the bartenders pretty well, so I should be able to sneake in there and see some interesting sights. I had been to superbowls 27 & 28 (pasedena and atlanta) when the Bills played the Cowboys, so I know what to expect with the crowd and hype. It is truely an international event, and it is hard to explain the week before unless you have seen it for yourself. There are all kind of concerts (some free, some requiring tickets) all week here in Jax, and I am going to try to hit a few to just enjoy Jacksonvilles week in the spotlight. I have to work Tuesday (7am-9pm shift), but then I am off till the following Wed,,,,,So I have a whole week to enjoy the fun and watch all the people coming into town ! I have not had a whole week off in over ten years,,,,,,,,,,,,,so I am stoked !!! It would have just been perfect if the Bills, and some of my friends from the wall like Cindy and Harriet , were down here to enjoy the week with me ! Well, just wanted to say hey to everyone, and wish you guys were all down here with me. I will try to post some things later in the week, especially if I see some interesting things or people. Maybe I'll run into some Bills players partying around town ! If any wallers are going to be down here this week, message me and we can get together for a drink ! Cindy,,,,,,,,,,If you read this, send me a message with your address. I will get you and Harriett a couple of jerseys with the official superbowl 39/Jacksonville logos on them to send up to you. Never know if Jax will ever host another one, so they could be collectibles ! The logo has a bridge above the roman numerals that represents all the rivers and bridges here in jax. If you watch espn, they are already in downtown Jax tonight shooting in front of the bridge ( a blue one ) that was used for the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
