The Major’s Walk-A-Thon

Sky: Partly Cloudy
Temperature: 67°F
Relative Humidity: 80%
Winds: E 3 MPH
Barometric Pressure: 30.05 Rising

My thoughts:

1.  I ate a MASSIVE breakfast at the Cracker Barrel in Florida City this morning during the six-o-clock hour. A stack of warm and buttery French Toast was totally drenched in authentic maple syrup and accompanied with scrambled eggs with melted American cheese and hot smoked sausage. P.S. I weigh 165 pounds.  😉

2.  After the feast I came home to do the walk during the seven-o-clock hour. It was another record-tying 2.2-mile walk, and I did it in less than 41 minutes (compared with 42 minutes last Saturday morning). I guess I walked just a tad bit brisker this week than last week.

3.  During the first quarter of the walk I totally frightened a woman who was carelessly walking her dog. As I walked my continuous straight line along the left-edge of the street a lady walking her dog was approaching from the right-side of the street. She was crossing the street, but she wasn’t looking where she was going. She was looking in the completely opposite direction. Her dog was going nuts, but she was totally oblivious to it. I swerved around her so that she wouldn’t walk right into me, and as I walked behind her that’s when she noticed me. Pedestrians get killed by oncoming vehicular traffic when they pull stunts like that. Ironically, “Wake Up” from KJ52 and Toby Morrell was rockin’ my iPod Shuffle at the time.

4.  I may not have big muscles to show for it, but I am the most physically fit today than I have ever been in my entire life and Life. I am in far better shape today than I was during my late-teens and early-to-middle-20s when I had to run a mile-and-a-half every year in the Air Force.

5.  Tomorrow morning at Life Pointe Church I get my weekly workout from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM lifting, carrying, moving, and setting up objects in the main lobby of the movie theatre as we transform it into a setting that is suitable for our church family. I’ll be sweating again. It’s all good. It’s all for God.

Friday Night Blogroll Review

You’ve waited an entire week for this to roll back around again, so without further delay I present to you my favourite blog entries of this past week from my favourite bloggers:

Travis stated that ‘Homestead (Florida) is without a doubt the best place on the planet’, and I wholeheartedly agree with him !

P.J. is obsessed with Twitter. We’ll find out if he is still obsessed with it in June.

Blake had a ton of fun in Seattle Washington with his Mom and Dad this past week. Happy 6-Month Birthday Blake !

Paul burned off some steam real late on Monday night / real early on Tuesday morning by clubbing on South Beach like a dude half his age and then eating cheeseburgers afterwards. Paul then spent all day Tuesday recovering from the party. I reminded Paul that he is nearly 41-years-old.

Nathan doesn’t appreciate his recorded voice. He’s planning to hire a voiceover announcer – perhaps rock and roll legend Peter Frampton – to mask his own voice. This may just be the funniest blog entry I have read in recent memory. Go check this one out !

Owen exlaimed, ‘My Mom needs a coffee so she can stay awake !’ as the two of them entered a local Starbucks yesterday.

Bedtime Stories

Greetings Friends. It’s time for the Thursday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’ – right here – right now !

TODAY is the 27TH birthday of my little brother’s wife who believe it or not is a proud member of ‘The Chris Day Club’. Ever since she came into my brother’s life she became the ‘Chris’ in my family and I became the ‘Christopher’ (or any of a bunch of other nicknames that my brother has for me). Of course when I refer to her I call her ‘Christina’ because I am the original ‘Chris’.  🙂

My brother celebrates his 33RD birthday in just about 16 days. Hey Bunky send me an E-Mail (or comment this blog entry) with a list of your 3 favourite stores to shop at. Do it as soon as possible so that I can order and send your gift out to you in the mail.

I am reminded that this is the 17TH of the month. It was exactly 11 months ago today that the coolest cat that ever lived with me – Boots – passed on to the Feline Wing of Heaven. He’s hangin’ out with Fluffy and Barney up above now. I will always love you buddy !  You were my best friend for 12½ years of my life.

Next week I’m headed up to Orlando with a few cool friends of mine such as Travis and Paul and Jesse and Alex and Anne J. and Venus. It’s going to be very interesting to return to that place for the first time since my rebirthing. As Pastor Travis loves to say I’ll be ‘kicking the devil in his teeth’ and ‘shooting him in the eye with a squirt gun’ as I hang out with my new friends at this awesome event in a city that I used to visit on a regular basis for over 13 years during the darkness of my previous life.

Thursdays are MASSIVE blog days for proud members of my blogroll. They know that the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ is less than 24 hours away, so they were on their ‘A’ game today in a dire effort to make the ‘Blogroll Review’ for this week. You can catch it right here on my blog tomorrow afternoon sometime after 4 PM EDT.

I’ve also planned another healthy two-mile-plus walk around my neighbourhood for Saturday morning, so be sure to be there for another exciting edition of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’.

And so until we hang out again here on this blog I wish you a safe, peaceful, and blessed Thursday night with your loved ones. Thank you so much for being my friend, and for living Life with me on this fantastic journey.

Have a great evening everyone !

God Hoaxes Internet Money Politics

Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

This is an Internet hoax. Read more about it.

Since the 1950s ‘In God We Trust’ has been our national motto, and it has been inscribed on the front of all coins and on the back of all paper currency.

The new dollar coin came out this month. The U.S. Mint hopes that the redesigned coin will win acceptance with consumers.

Dollar-Coin-Heads

It does not have ‘In God We Trust’ on it. Here’s another way of phasing God out of America.

Who originally put ‘In God We Trust’ onto our currency ?  My bet is that it was one of the Presidents on these coins.

All our U.S. Government has done is to dishonor them, and disgust me !

If ever there was a reason to boycott something then THIS IS IT !

DO NOT ACCEPT THE NEW DOLLAR COINS AS CHANGE !

Together we can force them out of circulation !
