1. Of all of the regular weekly blog entries that are posted on here this is the one that I look forward to compiling and posting more than any other. This is totally unrehearsed, and I am totally unprepared for it. This is raw, and that’s what makes it so cool. I have absolutely no clue what I plan to blog about for the next 9 items of interest, but I’ll just let my fingers do the talking and watch what happens.
2. The 10TH season / 9TH summer edition of “Big Brother” on CBS-TV begins this Sunday night at 8 PM EDT / 7 PM CDT. Please don’t bother me while it’s on (three nights a week as usual).
3. Some days everyone around me is a lousy driver. They either drive too slow in front of me, pull out in front of me, or tailgate me. This was one of those days. I couldn’t wait to get off of the streets.
4. Everytime I sneak a peek at this book I spend more time in it than I intended. I need to find some time this weekend to intentionally spend a couple of hours with it. It’s what I do for Life Pointe Church. It’s how I serve God and His children here in Homestead.
5. This afternoon I ordered a medium roast beef sandwich combo (with curly fries and a Sierra Mist) and an apple turnover via the drive-thru at Arby’s in Florida City (where all the food is). That’s what I paid for, and I’ve got the receipt right here to prove it. I got the curly fries, the Sierra Mist, and the apple turnover, but in lieu of the medium roast beef sandwich that I was truly looking forward to devouring I instead got – get this – a REUBEN ! I can dig mistakes like that when they work out in my favour flavour !
6. Are you tired of all of the rain here in Homestead (nearly 14 inches over the past 22 days) ? GOOD – I’m forecasting very little to no rain at all for the next 5 to 7 days (until perhaps early next week). Let’s see if I’m right.
7. The Washington Redskins and The Indianapolis Colts kick-off the 2008 NFL season with the annual Pro Football Hall-Of-Fame Game in Canton Ohio on Sunday August 03RD 2008. That’s only 26 days away. THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKIN’ ABOUT !
8. I saw my hot new laptop on sale at a Best Buy in Plano Texas last week. The longer I wait the cheaper it gets with more power. Laptops with 4 GB of RAM are pretty much standard nowadays. So are desktops with 8 GB of RAM.
9. I survived my 5TH cold in 8 months. It lasted 6 days. I kinda knew that I was getting it before I got it, and it was pretty much gone before I realized it. Here’s hoping that I don’t have to be blogging about my 6TH cold in 10 months come Labour Day Weekend !
10. THIS JUST IN – My brother and his wife (my sister-in-law) now have a cold. My 6-DAY cold ‘peaked’ on its 3RD day. That was my last full day at their house. I felt a little bit better on the 4TH Of July – the day that I left them behind and flew back home. A single contact with my nasty cold germs left behind and it was pretty much all over for the both of them. They’ll probably infect each of their coworkers.

I cannot wait for the football season. Baseball is killingme to watch unless it is the Yankees and Red Sox series. Sorry Paul but…GO COLTS!! The Reuben sandwiches are the bomb and that was definitely a mistake in your favor.
Well I am currently on Day 4 of my cold and Christina is on Day 2. Mine is now just a loud violent cough, and hers is a full blown cold.
I JUST heard two sneezes around the corner in my office, so it appears that you may be correct in your prediction there, Nostradamus.
MMMMMMM, did someone say….REUBEN? YUMMAAAAYYYYYY!
MY Football Prediction: Redskins 0-16 Cowboys 16-0
Sept 28th : Washington @ Dallas
Nov 16th : Dallas @ Washington
Let the TRASH TALKING officially begin….
Cold Update
Danny: Day 5 of My Cold – Current symptoms: an EXTREMELY annoying dry cough that won’t go away. And it’s not just 1 or 2 coughs. It’s 30 to 45 minutes STRAIGHT of loud, painful, dry, chest coughs. I’ve actually had to use Christina’s asthma inhaler to make it stop a few times.
Christina: Day 3 of her cold. She hasn’t started coughing yet. She is at the end of her congested stage. She is having some very strange dreams at night due in large part to taking NyQuil before bed. She told me she had a long dream all about RYAN SEACREST the other night.
UHHHH RYAN UHHHH SEACREST UHHHHH!!!????
It seems as if your little cold has mutated into an ABOMINATION that has caused me to have the most annoying cough EVER, and Christina to dream about 5 ft 3 Hollywood hosts/TV producers/ Radio DJs….
By the way. I have officially gotten 3 people sick at my office already.
THANKS CHRIS!!!!!! 😛
Sick Bro,
I never had a ‘cough phase’ of this most recent cold. It ended peacefully and quietly without me even realizing it. Special Thanks to my good friends Mr. Vitamin C, Dr. Airborne, y Señor Zicam. I’d also like to thank (especially for this particular cold) Mrs. Cold-Eeze (which I bought that last night at that grocery store that I can’t remember the name of). It was the cure for this common cold. No medication consumed. No horrific dreams.
