… Please Stand By.
The navy blue navigational bar at the top of this blog and every other WordPress blog is currently going nuts and expanding outward and downward for many of you (including me). WordPress is aware of the problem, and it should be corrected soon. There is nothing wrong with your web browser. It is an issue with WordPress.
It’s Tuesday night again, so you know that I’ve got these items of interest on my mind:
1. We’ve currently got our first significant rain event here in Homestead since last October. When all is said and done we could receive more rain between now and tomorrow night than we have over the past 103 days combined ! Let it rain !
2. Yesterday (Monday) was the ‘best day ever’ here on this blog. We experienced more hits yesterday than on any previous day in our short 2+ month history here on WordPress. I thank everyone responsible for making that happen.
3. The reports of the death of the breakfast sandwich at Starbucks have been greatly exaggerated. Actually they are going away, but they will be phased out gradually over a period of time through the latter portion of this year.
4. Fun With Numbers: The sum of my telephone number at work and my telephone number at home may equal the telephone number of a church in southeastern Pennsylvania.
5. It’s not nice to make fun of or criticize the way someone looks or the way they dress. There is only one true Judge, and He loves everyone no matter how they look or what the’re wearing.
6. Most people I know don’t like MSG in their Chinese Food. Most people I know have no clue what MSG stands for or what it really is.
7. I finally filed my 2007 Income Tax Return with the IRS this past Saturday afternoon. It took about an hour to do so electronically. I’m getting a $469 refund. I like refunds !
8. Two Homestead area Boy Scouts knocked on my front door this past Saturday morning selling their ‘Camp Card’. I bought two more. If they sold Krispy Kreme doughnuts like we did in 1978 then I would have bought several boxes of them.
9. Someone recently asked me why I am a registered Republican. It’s because I generally agree with Republicans about 75 to 85 percent of the time. That was a no-brainer.
10. I make my own Folgers instant coffee at work using Zephyrhills water. It’s rather tasty. I impress myself every morning.
If it’s Friday night then I must be celebrating the existence of some of my favourite blogs in the blogosphere:
Travis announced earlier this week that we will be staying in the movie theatre for another year.
Jesse is promoting ‘Life Pointe Latino’ – coming soon to a theatre near you !
The Saturn Project needs an Executive Producer for their upcoming album.
Nathan loves living in South Florida.
Harmony doesn’t understand why there’s leftover bread crust sitting in her living room’s TV cabinet.
If it’s Tuesday night then you just know that I’ve got 10 things on my mind:
1. We shot past 4,000 total views on this blog today. That’s pretty good for a little over two months of blogging action. We just went through a six-day slump on here. That’s six days in a row in which we finished at or below 45 views for a single day. It’s over now. The recovery has begun. Thank you fellow bloggers for returning from hiatus.
2. It happened again. I was mistaken for someone who recently attended Homestead Senior High School. Do I look that young ? This just in. I attended high school up in Northern Virginia 23 to 26 years ago (1981-1985).
3. Yesterday I was asked by a co-worker if I dyed my hair. He was actually being sincere when he asked me that. Do I look that old ? This just in. If I dyed my hair do you really think that I would leave the gray hair visible near my sideburns ?
4. When I get home from work each afternoon it’s pretty much routine – blog while watching “The People’s Court” at 3 PM followed by “Judge Judy” at 4 PM. Oh yeah – and take my Nature Made Omega-3 Fish Oil 1200 mg supplement.
5. It’s Fat Tuesday, so you know what that means. All over the French Quarter of New Orleans sins are being committed. Even in my previous life I never got that careless.
6. A lot of sports experts stated beforehand that it would be a cold dreary day in the Arizona desert before the New York Football Giants would beat the unbeatable New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. They were right.
7. I’ve never been a fan of Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, but even I was singing along to such classics as “I Won’t Back Down”, “Free Fallin'”, and “Running Down A Dream” during the Super Bowl halftime show.
8. January is over, and so are my various ailments. My lower-back is fine. My right shoulder feels normal. My bad cold is long gone. All is well with me in February.
9. I got a haircut yesterday at the legendary Woody’s Barber Shop in Homestead. The dude that took care of my hair spent a good 20 minutes with it. He took his time. He did it right. I’ll be back for more in April.
10. I gave myself a brand new modern computer system at work today with AMD Athlon duo core processors and two gigabytes of RAM. I did that because I could.
