The Major’s Walk-A-Thon

It’s the 2ND Season Premiere of your favourite Saturday morning series on the blogosphere !

1.  This morning at almost precisely 6 AM I awoke and I declared ‘I Want To Go To Denny’s !’ – and so I did a half an hour later. I enjoyed the Moons Over My Hammy®. Dude – It’s a ham and scrambled egg sandwich with Swiss and American cheese on grilled sourdough. It’s outrageous. SHYEAHZZZ !

2.  Once I got back home at 7:30 AM I decided that it would be the perfect time to kick-off ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ after a 6-month hiatus. The last time I walked around my neighbourhood of the past 13½-years was back on Saturday May 03RD 2008. Check out what I had to say back then.

Sky: Mostly Cloudy
Temperature: 69°F
Dewpoint: 64°F
Relative Humidity: 83%
Winds: ENE 7 MPH
Barometric Pressure: 30.17 Rising

3.  I’ve been waiting for weather like this since last April. It’s been a long hot Summer – a long hot Summer of not walking. Then again I’ve always wondered how much walking I actually do in a typical day during my Monday to Friday job at the air base. This morning I walked about 2 miles for 36 minutes and 35 seconds. I could’ve ended the walk shorter and earlier than that, but I was just having so much fun walking the walk while listening to my def tunes via my iPod Shuffle. I decided to keep on walking until I could actually feel a hint of mild pain in my legs. No Pain – No Gain !

4.  Cats adore me. One gray and white cat saw me and thought to himself – ‘He’s a friend of felines. I can walk right beside him with no fears and he won’t bother me.’ And so he did. That was on the south side of the MASSIVE lake that’s located within my neighbourhood. Later in the walk on the north side of the MASSIVE lake the cat greeted me again. He took the shortcut right alongside the lake. I took the scenic route following the roads.

5.  For the first time in ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ history I touched all of the roads. I walked them all – even the cul-de-sacs. This weekly walk is symbolic of my spiritual walk with my closest friends who are on this fantastic journey alongside me as we all follow and love Jesus Christ. I constantly thank my Lord and Saviour for giving me a second chance – a second Life to get it right this time. I shall continue to face toward and proceed into the daylight.

The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club

Probably the best part of recovering from a cold is regaining my MASSIVE appetite. During the peak of my cold I still had an appetite, but it just wasn’t MASSIVE. It was more like normal – average – mundane.

I know that I’m pretty much fully recovered from this most recent bout of the filthy germs because yesterday (Sunday) afternoon I managed to eat a large Little Caesars pepperoni pizza all by myself in less than half an hour flat.

Today for Lunch I enjoyed the mother of all Chinese Food meals courtesy of my good friends at Shanghai & Tokyo (in Homestead‘s Waterstone Plaza). It took me closer to 45 minutes to wrap-up that MASSIVE meal at my desk at work. I was quite full when I was all done with it. I could barely move, yet it felt so good. 😀

Because I’m such a loyal and faithful lunchtime customer of Shanghai & Tokyo I typically get two fortune cookies for the price of none !

Check it out:

Your destiny lies before you, choose wisely.
   I choose to continue moving forward on this journey.

Use your natural versatility to keep from being bored.
   Translation – Do something.

Until next time my friends may the good fortune cookie message be tucked inside a crunchy and delicious fortune cookie !

Walmart: It’s What’s For Breakfast

So I’m officially at home today (Friday) on sick leave. As an employee of the Department Of Defense I’ve accumulated well over 1,300 hours of sick leave (about 166 work days), so I’m using a minuscule percentage (0.6%) of my sick leave today.

I really am sick today. This is officially Day 3 of my 7TH cold in 12 months, but unofficially it’s Day 5 because I felt something bad coming on as early as Monday. On Wednesday the right-hand side of my nose was closed for business. Yesterday it had a soft reopening, but then the left-hand side of my nose had its share of problems. Today both sides are equally experiencing technical difficulties. I also have a headache (due to excess sinus pressure), partially-blocked ears, and occasional hot-flashes of sweat.

So I set out (rather late) this morning to eat a MASSIVE breakfast over at Denny’s of Florida City (where all of the food is). That didn’t happen because when I got there the parking lot was crammed to capacity (like I’ve never seen it before), so I just kept on driving by.

At that precise moment in time and space I made a spur-of-the-moment decision to go to Walmart of all places (also in Florida City – where all of the commercial merchandise is). It was the first time that I had set foot in that store in years !  The joint has changed a lot since I was last there. It’s cleaner, more organized, and brighter now. They must have all-new management in place now because this is not the same scary Walmart that I used to set foot in every few years. This supercenter is now shoppable !  I spent nearly an hour there. I even bought a few groceries there in addition to a lovely birthday gift that I bought for one of my little buddies whose party I plan to attend tomorrow morning (health-permitting).

I must say though that Walmart’s grocery prices are nothing to sneeze about. During a general price survey of the joint I realized that their prices are either slightly lower – or in some cases slightly higher than what I’m used to at Publix. I expected much lower prices, but I guess that with a nicer store to shop at they had to raise their prices a bit. I’ll probably shop there more often than I have in the past (more than once every two or three years).

I should have gotten breakfast at Walmart. They have an actual McDonald’s inside the joint !
