Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

1.  Homestead ARB FL officially got down to a bone-chilling 50°F on Monday morning, and 51°F this morning, but now the warmer air has made its comeback via the northeasterly breezes off of the ocean. We may lightly tap the upper-50s for an hour or two tomorrow morning, but that’s about it. I’m ready for the more normal South Florida weather.

2.  I’ve received 15 Christmas cards, and I’ve sent out 20. I still have a few more to send out. I better hurry. Christmas is exactly one week from today !

3.  My little buddy ‘Boots’ died exactly 7 months ago yesterday. He was my best friend, and the coolest cat that ever lived. I have a little memorial that I set up for him a few days after he died at the edge of one of my living room couches on top of his favourite sleeping place. That will stay there indefinitely in his loving memory.

4.  I cheated today. I ate a half-pound double-cheeseburger and fries for Lunch courtesy of my good friends over there at Wendy’s. It’s not part of my diet, but I was craving it. Is that so wrong ?

5.  Travis wants to see pictures of me on this blog. I don’t know why. He knows what I look like. Seriously though I do plan to add a few pictures of me real soon. I don’t have many to choose from. My picture keeps getting taken at Sunday morning service and at various other Life Pointe Church functions, yet I never see them. Maybe I can get some of those pics to post ?  Jesse ?  Terry ?

6.  There’s only one type of battery that I will buy, and that my friends would be the Duracell battery. You know that it’s the copper-top battery. No other battery looks like it – or lasts like it.

7.  I had to deal with just a few tailgaters to and from work and to and from Lunch today. It wasn’t enough to make me add another exciting chapter of ‘The Road Rage Files’ on this blog. It was merely enough for me to think about it and mention it here.

8.  I mentioned ‘Boots’ earlier – the coolest cat that ever lived. And then there’s ‘Fluffy’ – the most lovable cat that ever lived. This weekend marks the 24TH anniversary that me and my little brother found and rescued that little Manx cat from the harsh Winter elements of outside. I’m planning a nice blog entry this weekend to remember that very special day in which ‘The Fluffmiester’ entered our lives.

9.  A few of my co-workers think that those who spread the Word Of God (instead of keeping it to themselves) are radicals. That’s right. I’m a radical, and so was God, Jesus, and the Disciples. Thanks for the complement !

10.  This blog will set a new record high today for visitors hitting it. If you discovered it by accident and you stuck around because you love it then tell all of your friends about it. THANKS to all of you for spending just a little bit of your spare time each day by learning what’s going on in my Life today. I am enjoying the Renaissance of my Life, so you came at a very special time.

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

“Hotel Aquarium” – Falling Up

Is this another complication I face ?
Here is the mistake coming back to catch me.
To you I hold.

Now I know that I’m alive.
All the loneliness is filled by you inside.
And as I finally breathe the air.
You open up my eyes. Now I’m alive.

The lesson in breathing is never using control.
Seconds to misplace. I’ve never been so unsure.
To you I hold.

Now I know that I’m alive.
All the loneliness is filled by you inside.
And as I finally breathe the air.
You open up my eyes. Now I’m alive.

To the heights there is hope.
It’s been waiting all along.
To the heights there is hope.
Waiting.

Now I know that I’m alive.
All the loneliness is filled by you inside.
And as I finally breathe the air.
You open up my eyes. Now I’m alive.

Beef O’ Brady’s: It’s What’s For Lunch

TODAY I ventured over to the hot new Beef O’ Brady’s location just off Old Dixie Highway and SW 304TH Street (Kings Highway) near the northern city limits of Homestead. (I call this area ‘West Leisure City’.)

I ordered the ‘Watterson’ sandwich – ‘named after one of our first customers. You’ll order this one again. Premium roast beef and swiss cheese on grilled rye with mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion.’

The roast beef was piled high in this sandwich. Swiss cheese is my favourite cheese in the world. Rye bread is my favorite bread in the world. This was obviously a no-brainer for me. It was complemented nicely with a MASSIVE pile of tasty curly fries, and a large Coca Cola Classic.

The food was great. The service was great. The ambience was great. I’ll be back for more fun and food soon !

A.C. Off !

I turned off my A.C. tonight for the first time since I returned home from vacation on the day after Thanksgiving. It’s already down into the lower-60s outside right now (as of 9:30 PM), and in about 9 hours I am expecting the temperature to bottom out at a nice frigid 48°F early tomorrow morning. I’ll be wearing a jacket to work in the morning. We won’t even hit 70°F during the day tomorrow, and wind chills will remain below 60°F for much of the day.

Winter has arrived (at least for a day) here in Homestead.
