Bedtime Stories

Greetings Friends. It’s time for the 30TH edition of the ever-so-popular ‘Bedtime Stories’ series here on this blog. ‘Bedtime Stories’ is kind of like my version of ‘The Tonight Show‘ – a long-running staple that you can always depend on to be there with a fresh new edition on most nights.

The ‘Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad’ is pretty much my ‘Meet The Press‘ on here. If it’s Sunday – then it’s ‘Tossed Salad’ day !

I’m not the only dude that recaps his Sunday morning experiences at Life Pointe Church. Pastor Travis created the concept. Check out his ‘Sunday Wrap-Up’. Trav’s real bro Phil (P.J.) has run with his ‘Sunday Life Pointe Talk Soup’ for 5 weeks now. And then there’s the ‘Ritz Crackah‘ who has his ‘Sunday Goosfaba’. (‘Goosfaba’ is a variation of ‘Goosfraba’ which is an Eskimo word that was made famous in the 2003 box office smash ‘Anger Management‘.)

I’ll be back at work bright and early tomorrow morning to kick-off a fresh new week at my job. I’m making it a special point to get away from the base during the Lunch hour to finally get a haircut and then to eat Chinese Food for Lunch. Be sure to check out ‘The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club’ tomorrow (Monday) afternoon.

Have a safe and peaceful Sunday night everyone, and until we hang out again here on the blog remember this:

It’s nearly 9:30 PM on a Friday night, and that’s a perfect time for ‘Bedtime Stories’ – brought to you by Kentucky Fried Chicken – ‘We Do Chicken Right !’

And tonight’s edition of the ‘Bedtime Stories’ is actually about KFC !

It’s one of the most criticized and ridiculed fast food restaurants of them all. We all do it, but put several buckets of original fried chicken on a table with potato wedges, mashed potatoes and gravy, cole slaw, and biscuits – and watch the crowds of people flock to that table like flies on … (you know what I mean).

We had a farewell luncheon for a well-liked coworker today, and it was kept nice and simple. You should have seen all of us gobble up all of that chicken in record-breaking time. We are a bunch of fried chicken chompin’ maniacs. It was all lip-smackin’ delicious. I also can’t say enough about them tasty potato wedges. I think I ate about 25 of them in all. After the feast most of us came close to passing out on-site. We nearly had to call in the cardiologists. There may have even been a few silent heart attacks occurring. Where’s my Lipitor ?

Speaking of chicken I am reminded about the smartest cat that ever lived (with me) – Boots (1993-2007). That dude was the feline equivalent of me. I taught him everything that he knew. He clearly understood somewhere between 900 and 1,000 words of the English and Spanish languages. One of his all-time favourite words – ‘chicken‘. That cat would go nuts whenever he heard that word because he knew what it was, and he knew that it was the tastiest thing he’s ever eaten.

Back when I ate chicken on a fairly regular basis Boots also ate chicken with me. He was all over me when that chicken was on my dinner plate. He was meowing up a storm. He was pointing to the chicken with his paw. He was smelling the chicken as it went into my mouth, and YES – he also got tiny pieces of chicken to claim as his own. ‘Chicken‘ – just the mere utterance of that word grabbed his undivided attention. He would even wake up from a deep sleep when he heard that word !

And so there you go with my fried chicken themed ‘Bedtime Stories’ for this Friday night. Be sure to catch the blog for more fun tomorrow (Saturday). Have a safe and peaceful night everyone, and until we hang out again remember this:

Bedtime Stories

Good Evening Friends. This is the Monday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’ brought to you by Olive Garden.

I’m shutting-down my computer shortly before 9 PM tonight and retreating to my master bedroom due to a videocassette recording dilemma. I’ve got all 3 of my VCRs working overtime tonight and early tomorrow morning taping over 8 hours of quality television programming on 5 different networks in addition to watching over 3 hours of TV shows before I even go to sleep tonight. Who said that there is nothing good on TV nowadays ?  Not me !  Tomorrow (Tuesday) night is even more ridiculous. My VCRs will go to work for me in taping nearly 11 hours of shows that I can’t watch !  That’s right I’ve gone VCR crazy like it’s 1988 !

Be sure to catch the blog in action tomorrow afternoon after 4 PM as I present to you my weekly ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’. You just won’t believe what could be on my mind tomorrow !

Later this week on the ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’ I’ll show you how you can eradicate mosquitoes from your Life forever with the help of a common bathroom product.

Until we hang out again here on the blog remember this:

Olive Garden:  When you’re here, you’re Family.

Have a safe and peaceful Monday night everyone !

Good Night Beckie !  So Long March !

The Major’s Walk-A-Thon

If it’s Saturday morning then it must be time for me to nourish and exercise my mind and body. And a-way we go ! 

1.  I ate a MASSIVE breakfast at the Cracker Barrel this morning during the six-o-clock hour. The place was nearly packed with Indy racers and race fans, Spring Breakers, and natives of Homestead and Florida City. I drowned my stack of french toast in an inch of maple syrup. Where’s my Lipitor ? !

2.  After the feast I did the walk, and it was the longest walk yet !  Google Earth estimated my walk at 1.98 miles. It was definitely between 1.9 and 2.0 miles, and I did it in less than 37 minutes on this clear, crisp, and cool 63°F morning. Pretty soon these walks will be coming to a gradual end for the hot and sticky Summer season.

3.  Inside Joke:  ‘Who’s that happy kid walkin’ ’round the neighbourhood ?  Who’s that happy kid walkin’ ’round the neighbourhood ?  It’s me !  It’s me !  It’s C.M.D. !’  That’s right – I’m that 41-year-old ‘happy kid’. Why am I so happy ?  Read on …

4.  Whenever I walk the walk I feel like I’ve taken back my neighbourhood. I’ve lived here for nearly 13 years, but I’ve only really lived here for the past 3 months. Before Christmas Eve 2007 the only walking I did was to and from the mailboxes and the dumpsters. From 1995 to 2007 I merely existed in this neighbourhood. Now I am fully alive. Taking back my neighbourhood from obscurity has been just like taking back my Life from the darkness. I’ve wrapped my arms around my entire neighbourhood just like I’ve embraced this new Life that God has given me.

5.  My fresh new 2GB iPod Shuffle came along for this morning’s walk for the first time ever. My original 1GB iPod Shuffle started off as a 50-50 mix of newer Christian rock, pop, and hip hop music and older Secular dance music from my ‘once-upon-a-time’ life. Now it’s more like 72.5% Christian / 27.5% Secular. This fresh new 2GB iPod Shuffle will be solely Christian music. Fun Fact:  I occasionally refer to Christian music as ‘Republican Rock’.
