Hey kids it’s Thursday night – so you just know what that means. It means that we’re less than 48 hours away from a hot new ‘Saturday Night Retro’.
Last weekend I took you back 30 years in time to Disco-fueled 1979. This weekend we’re taking a leap decade and landing in 1989. I’ll share with you what this 22-year-old kid was up to back then.
But first …

It’s an all-new year of thoughts. Let’s roll !
1. The Twelve Days And Nights Of Christmas ended yesterday, and today is Epiphany. I learned all about this Christian holiday way back in 1974 and 1975 in Catholic School. Most people I know have never heard of it.
2. From my parking space at home to my parking space at work the length is exactly 7.2 miles by road. That’s 11.6 kilometers for the rest of the world. At the dangerous intersection of Speedway Boulevard and North Canal Drive I am exactly halfway to work – or halfway to home.
3. In just 32 days I’ll be on a luxurious Carnival cruise sailing across the Great Gulf Of Mexico. It’ll be my first cruise in nearly 15 months since I sailed across the Great Atlantic Ocean from Rome Italy to Miami Florida. This blog will actually go on hiatus during that upcoming vacation. A continuous streak of 445 days in a row with at least one blog entry posted per day will come to an abrupt end.
4. Last Presidents Day Weekend I went on a short little road trip over to the southwest coast of Florida. I had contemplated visiting Cypress Gardens for this Presidents Day Weekend, but alas they have shut down yet again due to poor business. They do plan to reopen again this Spring as a smaller park – minus all of the amusement park rides and all of the zoo animals.
5. Speaking of zoo animals I plan to visit Miami Metro Zoo on a future Saturday morning real soon to do a special ‘on-location’ edition of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’. I like to check up on the animals over there every few years or so – when the weather is cooler outside no doubt.
Those are my thoughts on this Epiphany. I thank you for your time !
TOMORROW MORNING I fully intend to wake up sometime before 7 AM, take a hot shower, put on some cool clothes, and then proceed to venture outside and walk around my neighbourhood for a couple of miles. I call it ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’, and you’ll be able to read all about it right here on the big green blog.
Later in the day on Saturday be sure to catch another smokin’ hot new edition of ‘The Major’s Saturday Night Fever DISCO Party’ ‘Saturday Night Retro’ as I take you back – way back to 1979 !
I’m getting indications that North America’s continental weather pattern is about to make a major shift, and that could mean the end of all of this warm weather that we’ve been experiencing here in America’s Riviera over the past 30 days or so. In fact I may be issuing a ‘Homestead Cold Weather Alert’ sometime early next week in anticipation of temperatures falling into the 40s ! Stay tuned for that one !
So that’s what I’ve got in store for the big green blog real soon. Be sure to stick around and check in from time to time. You won’t regret it pal !
Miami made International news headlines again today for another nutty incident. Hundreds and hundreds of shoes were dumped on a half-mile stretch of a Palmetto Expressway overpass early this morning near the Don SHOE-LA Expressway (sorry – I just had to go there), and it snarled rush hour traffic for miles and miles. Read (and see) all about it here (courtesy of WTVJ NBC-6), and (courtesy of CNN) – REMEMBER THIS !
