The Good Vs. Bad Chronicles: Denny’s

GOOD ! – Just 2.5 miles south and west of my Homestead home lies a tiny piece of paradise in the heart of Florida City‘s Useless-One commercial district that I like to call – ‘Denny’s‘. Florida City is where all of the food is, and Denny’s is where I eat it all.

BAD ! – HMMM … I can’t think of anything right now. Give me a moment.

GOOD ! – 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 even more delicious than it sounds !  YEAHZZZ !

BAD ! – OK I just thought of something rather lame. My sandwich came with hash browns. They were quite yummy too, but I wish that Denny’s served corned beef hash. I dig that grub !

GOOD ! – Excellent customer service (as usual). It’s not fancy or anything like that, but they take really good care of you there.

BAD ! – If you’re driving southbound on Useless-One then you can’t get to Denny’s unless you make a U-Turn and head back northbound briefly.

GOOD ! – I watched a cool show LIVE while eating. Out front it was a steady migration of motorcyclists (hundreds of them) heading southbound towards The Florida Keys. There must be a convention goin’ on down there this weekend. Yeah Right !

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

1. TODAY is the exact 11-month anniversary of this durable weekly series here on my blog. It was Tuesday October 16TH 2007 when it made its nonchalant debut back on the old MySpace blog. It’s a Tuesday night tradition on here. It’s our flagship weekly series. I think that an all-points bulletin or perhaps an amber alert could be issued for me if I don’t do this on any given Tuesday night.

2.  A totally impromptu and definitely spontaneous blog entry last Wednesday afternoon regarding Chuck Norris’s upcoming appearance on Larry King Live ! (four hours later that night) resulted in thick dense rush hour traffic clicking over to this blog. It enabled this blog to experience its busiest Thursday and Friday in history, as well as the busiest week overall (by a MASSIVE margin). That single blog entry is suddenly approaching the TOP 10 (of all-time) out of over 500 posted !

3.  Here’s a restaurant that I’ve been going to forever that just seems to get better and better over time – Peking House – Homestead‘s # 1 Joint For Chinese Food, Music, & Fun !  Today’s Lunch buffet was absolutely crammed with hot delicious food just 10 minutes after opening time at 11 AM. That joint was jumpin’. It was really jumpin’. By 11:30 AM it was nearly packed in there !

4.  After Lunch I went over to the Life Pointe Church offices where I said ‘Hi’ to this smart cat, this creative dude, and this crazy guy with the really weird yellow hair. Oh yeah I also hung out with my fellow 41-year-old friend for about 2 hours of topical discussion spanning some 2,500 years of history !  I loved every single second of it too !

5.  At the present time there are absolutely no named Tropical Storms or Hurricanes, no numbered Tropical Depressions, and no areas of mere concern out in the Gulf Of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and Atlantic Ocean. This statement was brought to you by our fine friends over there at the ‘What A Relief’ bureau.

Have A Great Tuesday Night My Friends !

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

1.  Hurricane Ike has passed us by well to our south, and that’s exactly what I forecasted it to do last week. As Ike was heading in this general direction suddenly everyone around me had become instant hurricane experts. I had to listen to a lot of ridiculous explanations about how hurricanes interact with high pressure systems and such. Some of it even defied science !  I merely listened and kept quiet, but it was very hard to do so at times. After all is said and done one thing is certain. I got it right.

2.  Today and tomorrow (while supplies last) you can pick up 3-dozen assorted fresh-baked cookies from Publix (where shopping is a pleasure) for the low low price of just $3.49 (on sale from the regular price of $5.09). At $3.49 for 3-dozen that’s less than a dime per cookie. Dude that rocks my world !

3.  I ended a self-imposed 99-day boycott of The Atlanta Bread Company yesterday morning. I actually ate Lunch there. The meal was not very good, and the customer service was not very good. My hot sandwich was cold, and I didn’t even receive the potato chips that come with it. I had to walk back up to the counter to retrieve them. It’s a nice fancy restaurant decor wise. It’s a shame that the food and the service don’t match the decor.

4.  My brother should resurrect his WordPress blog. Even if he only blogs in it once a week that would be good enough. How about a funny TOP 10 list or something similiar to my weekly ‘Monday Night Countdown’ ?  My brother is the funniest guy I know. He’s also cooler than global warming.

5.  I’m going on this trip next May into June:

America's Magnificent National Parks
My Vacation Next May Into June

It includes 3 states that I’ve never set foot in – Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. It’ll be another vacation of a lifetime.

The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club

TODAY I enjoyed an unusually late (after 12:30 PM) Lunch at an unusually busy Panda Express aqui en el Este de Homestead. I had a delightful plate of Chow Mein, Orange Chicken, Broccoli Beef, and a Chicken Egg Roll.

—> DID YOU KNOW that ‘Orange Chicken’ is the # 1 Internet search term (that’s used to find this blog) in the entire history of this blog ?

Here’s my Fortune Cookie Message for this MASSIVE Lunch:

‘Enjoy the good luck a companion brings you.’

Until next time my friends may the good fortune cookie message be yours indeed !
