Greetings My Friends,

The long-awaited round-trip to and from Circuit City on Kendall Drive this morning was a quick one (less than two hours total), and it was a successful one !  I am totally enjoying my sparkling new state-of-the-art desktop computer system and flat-panel LCD widescreen monitor (both courtesy of HP Pavilion). It’s my first brand new store-bought computer system since January 2000 (also an HP Pavilion desktop). I actually stopped using that 2000 system back in 2003 or 2004 when I switched over to a (more modern) used laptop. I replaced that used laptop in 2005 with another (even more modern) used laptop (an HP Pavilion no doubt) which I used up until today.

OK – On to the blogging business at hand here:

Be sure to check out the ‘Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad’ tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon.

Then on Monday it’s another exciting edition of the ‘Monday Night Countdown’. Im not sure what this week’s TOP 5 countdown will be all about, but I’m sure that I’ll think of something silly between now and then.

On Tuesday I’ll be bringing you an all-new set of miscellaneous thoughts on my mind that can only be filed within the legendary ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’.

Be sure to stay tuned to this blog for all of the above and a few additional surprises here and there. You won’t regret it pal.

Until we blog again keep it real, and enjoy some peace and quiet tonight.

Bedtime Stories

TOMORROW is the long-awaited big day. I’m leaving for Kendall Drive in the morning, and I’m heading straight to Circuit City to buy my sparkling new state-of-the-art desktop computer system. It’ll be my first store-bought computer system in about 9 years (that was an HP Pavilion 6545C desktop), and it’ll be my first replacement computer system in nearly 3½ years (that was a used HP Pavilion ZT1290 laptop that was new in 2002 but bought by me in 2005). Every single blog entry that you have ever read from me was done on that laptop, and she shall retire from active duty tomorrow once I bring home my new baby !

Oh yeah I’m also buying this sparkling new flat-panel LCD widescreen monitor to replace my longtime monitor of the past 9 years.

2008 computer technology arrives in my home tomorrow !

Until we hang out again here on the big blog (via my fresh new computer system) REMEMBER THIS classic Circuit City television commercial from 1994 when the 486 SX / 33 was state-of-the-art, and Packard Bell was a household name.

Friday Night Blogroll Review

Here’s what’s happenin’ at 5 of my favourite blogs:

P.J. The Cane’s ‘Thought Shells’ this past Thursday can be summed-up as follows: Lobster, Football, Chicken, Itching, and Blogging. Phil was eating his lobster and chicken while watching football, and he was itching to get to some blogging soon !

There are a lot of prejudice Christians out there who immediately write-off rock and heavy metal music as evil, demonic, and Satanic. Ritz explains why these radicals need to ‘Get With The Times’. I also weigh-in with my personal viewpoint on this issue.

Rebecca intended to make homemade burritos, but she made stir-fry instead.

Kelly shows off her pics of the River Walk en San Antonio. Deja Vu (for me).

My favourite Pastor who isn’t at Life Pointe Church – Nathan – rages against the ‘Green’ machine. I’m totally with Nathan on the environmental issue. I’m also happy to see that Nathan has not abandoned his award-winning blog !

THANK YOU my fellow bloggers for another historic week of bloggertainment !

Mario’s Latin Café: It’s What’s For Dinner

Mario's Latin Cafe - Homestead Florida
Mario's Latin Café - Homestead Florida

TONIGHT I enjoyed Dinner with a good friend of mine at Mario’s Latin Café – right in the heart of Homestead on Useless-One at NE 11TH Street (SW 308TH Street). It’s the first time that I’ve eaten there in several years, but we all know that this dude, his brother, his brother’s wife, his wife, his Mom, and his Dad all hang out there on a regular basis because they love it there !  😮

I enjoyed the mother of all MASSIVE meals big and small consisting of Milanesa De Pollo (breaded chicken with ham, marinara sauce, and melted cheese), 3 mashed potato scoops, and 4 large sweet plantains. Ice water, cold Sprite, and hot buttered breadsticks complemented the MASSIVE meal nicely. Customer service was friendly and borderline outstanding. Hot foods were hot. Cold drinks were cold. I surely enjoyed my culinary experience there, and I certainly enjoyed hanging out with Tammy again !

I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually eaten at Mario’s since it opened for business. I think that I need to eat there more often. I just need to go there at the end of a hunger strike (due to their ENORMOUS portions). I’ve heard that Breakfast there is delightful !

Check out their menu !
