Attention Floridians: The year is over and the election is over and the best man won. He won’t be president, but he won. I know, it’s the holidays, we’re all a little punch-drunk from Christmas, and if you’re like me, you’re anticipating New Year’s like a chihuahua with a full bladder, so I don’t want…
