No More Stucrew.com
The renewal for the stucrew.com domain is coming up, and I've decided I'm not going to renew it any longer. If someone else wants to buy the domain, let me know and we can set up the blog to point to the domain. Otherwise, the Stu Crew blog will still be available at http://stucrew.blogspot.com.

Alexis Marina Negroni has arrived!
Hi all,
I know nobody has posted to the StuCrew website in some time, but I refuse to believe that it is defunct. I am in the hospital right now writing to announce that yesterday, August 4, 2007 at 5:12 pm Eastern my baby daughter was born healthy and kicking. Her name is Alexis Marina Negroni. She weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and measured 20" long. That's almost as big as stonehenge (obscure Spinal Tap reference). Anyway, I am attaching a picture of her I took with my cell phone since I have not gotten a chance to download the ones from my camera yet. I hope everyone is well, and Alexis says "hi" to her new extended family.

New House
For the folks who don't know, I finally bit the bullet. I've come to realize that Gainesville is my home so for all you who said "Jose's staying in Gainesville forever"- you were right. Maybe. We'll see. I found a house about two and a half weeks ago and put an offer on it. They accepted the offer and I closed yesterday, Friday. Now I've got tons of work ahead of me.
I've got to do some electrical, some plumbing, a lot of painting, I'm sanding and restaining the baseboards. I've got all wood floors that need to be sanded and refinished. I will be putting up over 30 panels of privacy fencing so my Sanford, Tepedino, and Sons junk company can sit behind the fence without anyone being the wiser. I won't move in right away, but when I feel like the house is ready to take the furniture, I'll start moving in. I did take my picnic table over with the benches and a few chairs. There's a radio too. Right now it's a whole lot easier to work on the house with it virtually empty.
Lucky for me I closed just in time for my Spring Break. This whole week I'm on Spring Break and I'll be at the house. If you feel like it, just stop by. If I'm not there, I'm out for supplies and will be right back. If you owe me a favor, now's the time to help out. If you want me to owe you a favor, stop by. Yep, I'm already calling in my markers. If you want to give a weekend or several evenings to it, let me know. I'm moving quickly on all the projects and hope to have the majority done by next weekend: Sunday, April 8. I love you all and look forward to hosting you at my (new to me) house. Of course, when I have a housewarming party I'll be sure to post that news with time to spare. There's a slight likelihood of the party being in May, but with all the bachelor parties, school trips, and weddings coming up I might just push it into July.
It's really easy to get to the house. It's in the neighborhood across from Ballyhoo Grill and Stonewood. You remember the "new" Royal Park theaters on Newbery Road? There's a stoplight that gets you into all that area. Well, instead of turning into the Plaza Royale, turn down into the neighborhood and make a right onto second avenue. Look for my house to be the fourth or fifth one on the right with the basketball pole that has no goal or backboard. :) She's a green-trimmed monster, but I love her. Wish me luck.

New Post
Ok, I kind of got tired of looking at the same old post for two months. This blog will be revived dangit! So, let me start off by saying hi to all the fellas up in the north (being in South FLA pretty much everything is to the North). Also, I saw Jorge's daughter Gabby the other day and she's super cute.
Anyway, it's great to be a Florida Go Gator recently. I miss the partying that must be going on in Gainesville with every victory. I am there in spirit. As for me, not much is new. You guys probably know that I opened my own law firm at the beginning of 07. So far it has been going well. We're working hard at chasing ambulances - I think a motorcycle would help :) Also, Thania is pregnant with a little girl. She is about 22 weeks (I think). Her name is Alexis Marina Negroni. Marina is for my grandma. Well, that's about it. I hope all of you are doing well, and Go Gators!

Champions!
Well, U.F. did it again. We won another national championship. It's been ten years since the last one. My memories of the old championship have gotten faded, but the 2006 championship season will tide me over until the next one. It's unbelievable that we hold both the basketball and football championships together in the same season. The probabilities of that ever happening again anywhere are low.
We had a great crowd at the house. In 40+ degree weather we had people sitting outside in the courtyard to watch the game on the big media projector-fed screen. On the porch and inside we cleared out all the oversized furniture and set up stools and chairs a la theater seating to watch the four televisions we had tuned to the game. We ran out of toilet paper in the fourth quarter. We ran out of keg beer at about the same time. 40-60 people were here at any given moment throughout the night, but as soon as we won everyone took off running up 17th street to get to University Avenue. The celebration was similar to the one after the '06 NCAA basketball final. People on lamp and telephone poles, mortars fired into the air, a huge mob spilling out onto University Avenue. People were elated throughout. It was an amazing experience. It was beautiful. I'm just happy I had already taken Tuesday off work. ;)
I'm happy I live in Gainesville. I know I always said I was going to leave at some point. Some folks told me I'd stay in Gainesville. Well, I guess they might be right. It just doesn't seem as if I'm going to leave anytime soon. A friend recently bought a house and I think to myself, "if she can do it, so can I." Miguel and Kelly will be here for a while longer and I like being close to family. I've got a great group of friends up here (although I seriously miss the rest of the gang). I've got a ton of reasons to stay right now. I think I'm going to buy a house here and soon. Wish me luck.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
While life has taken us in many different directions, we're all still brothers and sisters. All of you are dearly missed, and I wanted to take this opportunity to say that every single one of you has meant something to me, and I'll never forget that. With that, I wish you all a very Happy New Year and a safe and wonderful 2007.
