Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

ALWAYS HONEST … SOMETIMES BRUTAL !

1.  Another brief cool spell is upon us aqui en Homestead. I turned off my A.C. last night, and this afternoon one of my sliding glass doors is open. It’s a nice comfy 76°F here in my living room. We’re dropping down to the mid-50s again tomorrow morning – just like this morning.

2.  I think I have my first vacation planned for 2008. I’m going to San Antonio Texas to hang out at the River Walk with my brother at the end of June. San Antonio is the Orlando of Texas.

3.  I’m thinking about doing a very special upcoming edition of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ on-location at Monkey Jungle.

4.  Who cares about the ongoing writer’s strike. I managed to record nearly 10 hours of high-quality television programming last night via my 3 VCRs (Arthur, Barney, and Charley). Tonight I’ve got another 6 hours of recording planned. The ‘VHS Trio’ are workin’ overtime !

5.  Further proof that I am 40-years-old (pushing 41) – Less than a week after I sprained my lower back muscle on a Sunday morning at Life Pointe Church I hurt the right-side of my neck and my right shoulder while sleeping awkwardly this past Saturday morning. It’s 84-hours later, and I’m still in moderate pain in that general area. I’m fragile.

6.  ‘The Major’s Life Blog’ was recently described by a fellow believer as a ‘ministry’. I can dig that !  It’s a cool form of communication for me to document the life and times of this fantastic journey that I’m on. God gave me the talent of writing, and I’m using it for good. He is reading my blog every day.

7.  Contrary to possible belief I am not a secret minority investor or owner of Casavana Cuban Cuisine.

8.  The Home Depot at Biscayne Drive and Speedway Boulevard is now open for business. There should be no shortage of home supplies here in the Greater Homestead / Florida City area with two Home Depots and a Lowe’s within 8 miles of each other.

9.  The 12TH season of “The Amazing Race” on CBS airs its finale this upcoming Sunday night at 8 PM EST. I’m rooting for Nicolas and Donald to take the cool mil.

10.  I’m taking the day off from work this upcoming Friday. With Monday as a Federal holiday that gives me a 4-day / 111-hour weekend to catch up on stuff at home. I can’t wait to kick it all off at 3 PM this Thursday afternoon.

The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club

SPECIAL TWO-FOR-ONE SALE !

1.  Keep your face to the sunshine and you will never see the shadows.
This may be the wisest fortune cookie message I have ever received. This is a ‘Chasing Daylight‘ fortune here. Look forward. Proceed. Move forward. Don’t look back at the darkness. Look ahead at the light. Seize every moment in time.

2.  Avoid senseless contradictions with others.
This seems like it’s straight out of the Scriptures. Don’t put on a show. Don’t be one person on Sunday morning at church and then a totally different person at all other times. If you are following God on this fantastic journey then you should be doing so 24-7. You are the hands and feet of Him on His Earth. You are a Disciple of Him. Be the Disciple that you are all of the time. Everyone is watching, but most importantly He is always watching.
