Thursday Night Mini Thoughts

– This should not be confused with the ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’.
– These are ‘Mini Thoughts’ in 15 words or less.
– It’s like a spinoff of the wildly popular flagship Tuesday night series.
– Now that I’ve got that out of the way it’s on to business:
– It was about 61°F in my home when I awoke this morning.
– That was more than 20°F less cold than it was outside at the time.
– It was also about 13°F below normal.
– The normal temperature at night while I sleep is 74°F.
– I can’t control it when it’s unusually frigid outside.
– When I returned home from work it was just below 67°F inside.
– That’s about 8°F below normal.
– I received word late yesterday that my Nutter Butter cookies are safe to eat.
They are not affected by the MASSIVE Peanut Butter recall.
– That’s awesome because I have 11 packs of 4 cookies in my fridge.
– Nutter Butters are my favourite cookies in the entire universe !
– I enjoyed the KFC Variety Big Box Meal for Lunch today.
– That included Potato Wedges. YUM !
– I could eat 250 Potato Wedges in one sitting.
– I may do another ‘Walk-A-Thon’ on-location somewhere.
– I may visit Coral Castle for the first time since 1987.
– I’ll be embarking on a Carnival cruise in just 16 days.
– This is a weekend without the NFL for the first time since last July.
– I’ll have ‘My NFL Weekend Game Picks’ next Thursday.

Homestead’s Coldest Day In Nearly 3 Years !

Homestead is shivering, and all across America’s Riviera South Floridians are bundled up in their coziest winter outfits that usually only see the light of the day for just a few days during each Winter season.

Today was unofficially our coldest day in nearly 3 years – since February 13TH 2006. It was also one of our coldest days of the past decade !

Get ready for actual air temperatures to plummet to within a few degrees of the freezing mark early tomorrow morning with wind chills deep into the 20s. Frost is also likely all throughout the region. (Say goodbye to your green grass.)

You want the warm air back ?  You get your wish this weekend !  An extended period of seasonal temperatures returns on Friday. It will stick around for at least a week. You’ll have plenty of time to thaw out.

In the meantime – REMEMBER THIS !

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

Let’s do this thing:

1.  I did not vote for Barack Obama; however, I sincerely wish him the best of luck in reuniting this divided country. I really hope that he does a great job as our new President Of The United States, for if he does then he may just earn my vote in 2012. I support him as my President.

2.  I think that President Obama has the support of a large majority of Americans. That’s something that George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George H.W. Bush never really had when they each took the oath of office. The last time we were this united for a new President was exactly 28 years ago when Ronald Reagan took over a divided and disgruntled country from Jimmy Carter.

3.  Late this morning the unmistakable aroma of hot and juicy and big and rich and delicious fried chicken permeated all throughout the parking lot of Homestead‘s Waterstone Plaza in front of Publix. That parking lot smelled so outrageously delicious that I wanted to sit right there and eat some parking spaces !  Say what ? !

4.  Don’t complain to me that we don’t have a Winter season here in America’s Riviera. We had one of our chilliest Novembers in modern history, and now January’s temperatures have been noticeably below normal. We may skirt with wind chills in the upper-30s tomorrow morning, and then on Thursday morning we may have actual temperatures approaching the freezing mark with wind chills in the upper-20s !  Global warming strikes again !

5.  A couple of people asked me why I posted this picture on Saturday morning:

The Grand Slamwich - Over 1,300 Calories Of Goodness !
The Grand Slamwich - Over 1,300 Calories Of Goodness !

It’s because I actually ate that for breakfast !  And I’ll be doing it again real soon. If you don’t believe me that I can deal with that 1,300 calorie masterpiece all by myself then I invite you to watch me LIVE and in person at Denny’s in Florida City (where all of the food is).

Those are my thoughts on this Tuesday night. Thank You for your time.

Monday Night Countdown

Here are my TOP 5 favourite daily television shows that I’ve been watching for many years:

5.  TMZ – My brother and his wife got me addicted to this entertaining piece of mess last July while I was on vacation in Texas. At first glance I was totally hooked. Now I watch it every night at 6 PM on South Florida’s MY-33.

4.  The Tonight Show With Jay Leno – I’ve seen about 99% of his nightly shows (on tape) since he took over for Johnny Carson 17 years ago. I’ll be watching his nightly 10 PM show when it debuts later this year.

3.  The Late Show With David Letterman – He’s been on late night for the past 27 years, and I’ve pretty much been there with him from the very start. He’s why I mastered the programming of a Betamax VCR all of those years ago.

2.  Live !  With Regis & Kelly – I’m at work from 9 AM to 10 AM, and so is my VCR. It records this for me every single morning. Regis Philbin is hands-down my favourite male television personality of all-time !  Oh yeah I really like Kelly too !

1.  Judge Judy – After a long hard day at work there’s nothing else that I’d rather do than to sit down, chill, and watch Judy dispense justice with an attitude. I think that she’s the smartest woman on television today. I totally dig Judy !
