Living the Good Life at O'Leary's: Sarasota Life by Timothy Carr (English) Paper

Description: Living the Good Life at O'Leary's by Timothy Carr Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description It all started in August 2006 when the real estate market began to collapse in the Sarasota, Florida area. It was almost two years before the rest of the nation caught up, and also totally collapsed. Timothy Carr had planned to retire and live The Good Life. Instead, he was flat broke and owed other people money. Slowly the reality of his situation began to sink in. No job. No home to live in. No credit. And no one was hiring. Thats a lot of "NOs" to deal with. He wanted to shut off the lights and hibernate in a corner, but he didnt have a corner to hibernate in. Thats when he discovered that, in Downtown Sarasota, you could moor a boat at no cost - it was free! That got him looking around for boats. He had been looking in the classified section of the newspaper and had seen several boats available. One ad read: "26-foot motorsailer, free to a good home". And thats how he became a "liveaboard" at OLearys Tiki Bar and Grill, located inside Island Park, just south of Marina Jacks, on the harbor side of Sarasota. OLearys is a rather unique place, and it took Timothy some time to settle in to becoming a liveaboard. Since he was now moored out in the bay in his own boat, coming and going every day, he met many new people, offering him interesting peeks into the lives of those who drifted through. Timothy soon discovered that he never knew who he would be talking to. One day, it would be someone down and out on their luck. The next day, it could be a celebrity or multi-millionaire taking a break from his or her 60-foot yacht. This is what made it so interesting being around OLearys and getting to "live the good life" there. And, oh, the tales he tells ... PRAISE FOR LIVING THE GOOD LIFE AT OLEARYS: "Such a wonderfully poignant tale of how life always brings you the people you need to survive and thrive, forever and always coming full circle. And as a Sarasotan once myself, I fell in love with the magic it holds all over again. Looking forward to the next book in this series!" --- D. D. Scott, Bestselling Author ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Timothy Carr has held many (many) different jobs - from working as a laborer to supervising 12 convenience stores with over 76 employees. He also managed restaurants, a Radio Shack, A Pizza Hut, and a coin shop. Some of his friends asked him "who are you to write a book?" His answer was that he had gotten to know so many wonderful people at OLearys (and throughout Sarasota, Florida) that he wants the world to get to know them, too.
