Survivor 16 / Big Brother 9

CBS-TV announced the new season premieres of two of their venerable reality series today.

The 16TH season of “Survivor” begins at 8 PM EST on Thursday February 07TH 2008. Filming has already wrapped for the upcoming season, and rumours have circulated online that it was done so in the island nation of Palau (the same location as “Survivor 10” during the Spring of 2005).

The 9TH season of “Big Brother” begins at 9 PM EST on Tuesday February 12TH 2008 – nearly 5 months earlier than normal. It’s been a summertime tradition on the CBS prime time schedule since the Summer of 2000, and it’s been promoted to the regular season (due mainly to the lingering Writer’s Guild Of America strike). Just like during the Summer it will air three times per week – on Tuesdays (9 PM), Wednesdays (8 PM), and Sundays (8 PM).

Vacation: Deja Vu

This afternoon I got to re-live my recent month full of vacations all over again – all of the stores that I shopped at, all of the restaurants that I ate at, all of the fun things that I did, and all of the good times that I enjoyed in Europe, in the Mediterranean, in the Atlantic, in the Dallas Texas area, and at two South Florida airports – MIA & FLL.

I just looked at my VISA bill for the month !  😎

VISA – ENJOY LIFE’S OPPORTUNITIES

Me & The Blimp

This afternoon as I walked out of my workplace building I saw two of my co-workers looking up at the sky. They pointed out the Goodyear Blimp to me. It was hovering perhaps a thousand or less feet directly above our base. I thought that was unusual. Who gave the crew of the blimp permission to check out our base from up above ?

As I drove out of the base and then ultimately southbound on Speedway Boulevard – or as I sometimes refer to it ‘The Homestead-Miami Speedway Expressway’ – the blimp followed me (and beat me). It drifted over to where North Canal Drive meets Speedway Boulevard, turned around, and then flew directly over my car as I approached my right-hand turn onto North Canal Drive.

One of these days I will somehow someway get myself into one of those blimps on a nice leisurely sightseeing trip over this area. I’ve always wanted to do that. Blimps are fascinating to me.
