Coming This Week To A Blog Near You !

1.  Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad – I’ll be hanging out with my loving Life Pointe family on Sunday morning for about 4½ hours, and then again for another 2½ hours in the afternoon at a new membership luncheon. I’ll post 5 of my thoughts regarding the exciting events of the day early on Sunday night.

2.  The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club – It’s either Panda Express or China Yan on Monday for Lunch, so I’ll be looking for that thought-provoking fortune cookie message to post on here for all of you bonafide club members worldwide.

 3.  Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts – It’s our hottest, craziest, and most spontaneous weekly blog entry on here. I have no clue what 10 miscellaneous items I plan to blog about until I actually sit down at my computer on Tuesday night to do so. Who knows what could happen when I let my fingers do the talking !

4.  The Road Rage Files – Chapter 17 – It could happen !

Be sure to stick around all week long here on ‘The Major’s Life Blog’.

Starbucks On A Saturday Morning

Florida City Florida is now officially on the map … now that Starbucks is open for business in town at the former longtime location of Miami Subs where Palm Drive (SW 344TH Street) meets Useless-One (U.S. 1).

My first impression of the outside of the place ? – The parking lot is ridiculous. I would have thought that they would have blown up the previous parking lot and started anew, but instead they just painted over it and re-striped it in a haphazard manner. Oh well. At least I found an open parking space (on a slight angled slope).

I walked inside of the joint, and it was music (loud) to my ears. It is paradise inside. I looked around for this dude, or this dude, or this dude, and none of them were inside camping out. I guess 7 AM on a Saturday morning is just a bit too early for them. Why I do more before 7 AM than they do … oh never mind.

I ordered the GRANDE Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha ($4.05) as well as a Sausage, Egg, & Cheddar Sandwich ($2.95). They didn’t have any peppermint left, so they offered (and I gladly accepted) the regular White Chocolate Mocha (that I am so familiar with). I grabbed my loot, and I took it all home with me. The sandwich was hot and scrumptious. The mocha (still drinking it) is warm and tasty.

I am truly impressed with this particular location of Starbucks, and I shall return to it on a regular basis – poorly-constructed parking lot notwithstanding.

Bring on the other 3 planned Starbucks in and around Homestead – especially the one less than a mile from my workplace. Once that one opens for business we might as well have our ‘Commander’s Calls’ there because half of the base will be there lined up for coffee before each work day begins.
