It’s the most talked-about blog entry of the week … It’s time once again for my most anticipated ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’ !
1. Fred Thompson dropped out as a Presidential candidate earlier today. His run for the White House never really gained momentum. He actually had more momentum during the long period of time before he formally announced his candidacy about 4½ months ago. Ron Paul should do the same – drop out.
2. Rachel and T.K. won “The Amazing Race 12” this past Sunday night. They deserved it. They came on strong at the very end. My favourites – Nicolas and Donald – faded fast at the end. Nick had a ‘brain dump’ at the memory puzzle. Pre-production on “The Amazing Race 13” has already begun, and it may air this Summer or as part of the new Fall season in September.
3. I turned my A.C. back on as soon as I got home from work this afternoon. It was a warm 78°F and a humid 62% in my living room. South Florida is back in the warm subtropical air again. The next shot of cooler air should arrive early on Friday morning and last about 24 hours.
4. It’s Day 5 of my 2ND bad cold in less than 3 months, and I’d like to thank my good buddies Cold-Eeze, Airborne, and Zicam for helping me out over the past 5 days. I had planned to write the official obituary for this cold today, but its death has been greatly exaggerated.
5. You know what we need here in Homestead ? This place ! Put one on Campbell Drive across from the Homestead Hospital, and I’ll be there twice a week.
6. Florida Highway Patrol troopers are the lowest-paid in the entire country. That’s a travesty. Only 92 of them are currently assigned to Miami-Dade County (down from 250 during the 1980s). That’s not right.
7. “Land Of The Lost” was one of my favourite TV shows back during the mid-1970s. You can hear its memorable theme song here. That was from the first two seasons. The theme song lyrics changed a bit for the 3RD season. (Enter Uncle Jack.)
8. It’s the road-streaking New York Football Giants up against the undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII on Sunday February 03RD in the Arizona desert. I’ll be rooting for the underdog ‘G-Men’ – representing the NFC East – home of my beloved Washington Redskins.
9. I may have male-pattern baldness developing, but I refuse to give up the fight and shave it all off. If anything I plan to get less haircuts as I get older. I just don’t think that being completely bald is the way to go for me. It works fine for some people – like this dude – but then again I’ve never seen what he used to look like with hair.
10. John 3:16 (New Living Translation, 2ND Edition) – “For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” We’re getting ready to start-up our weekly Life Groups again, and we’re going to concentrate on this one verse of the Scriptures over the course of 3 months via these resources. I can’t wait to get started !
