Bedtime Stories

Greetings fellow bloggers – those who read and those who write. It’s time for the Sunday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’ – brought to you by Cookie Crisp cereal.

Here are some things that I resolve to do during this upcoming holiday week:

  • Wear a green shirt tomorrow to celebrate my Irish heritage in honour of St. Patrick’s Day. (I’m 50% Irish in case you didn’t know.)
  • Eat Chinese food for Lunch tomorrow to celebrate my love of foods that are green – such as broccoli.
  • Go to Publix tomorrow afternoon after work to do some serious shopping for food. Yes Venus and Kristina – even though I don’t cook my own food I still eat food.
  • Get a tattoo on my lower-right thigh with Jesse.
  • Wash and dry bath towels twice this week.
  • Prepare for the WORM. (This only makes sense to my coworkers.)
  • Shave on Tuesday night.
  • Go out clubbing with Paul.
  • Attend Life Group this Wednesday night and arrive before Nancy.
  • Serve at the ‘Moonlight Easter Egg Hunt’ on Good Friday night. (Visit easterinhomestead.com for the 411.)
  • Induct another ‘Chris Day’ into ‘The Chris Day Club’.
  • Get a haircut with Travis at Woody’s Barber Shop.

Be sure to return back here tomorrow afternoon for another fun-filled day here on the blog. I may even have a fresh new edition of ‘The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club’.

Until then remember this:

If you like cookies, you’ll love Cookie Crisp !

The Major’s Walk-A-Thon

Sky: Clear
Temperature: 67°F
Relative Humidity: 100%
Winds: Calm
Barometric Pressure: 29.94 Rising

My thoughts:

1.  This morning most of my walk occurred before sunrise. I walked from 7:17 AM to 7:42 AM. It was a basic 1.3-mile walk around my neighbourhood, but I did so counterclockwise rather than the normal clockwise. I like to take risks like that !  😉

2.  The Spring holidays are here. Tomorrow is Palm Sunday, and that leads in to Holy Week including Good Friday and Easter Sunday. I can tell that the holidays are here. A lot of my neighbours are on vacation now. There are a lot of empty parking spaces all around.

3.  I passed an adorable little black cat at the southern tip of my walk this morning that could have passed for a ‘Baby Boots’. Boots was my home buddy for 12½ years from 1995 to 2007. ‘Baby Boots’ looked at me with loving eyes. He just knew that I am a friend of felines.

4.  What an amazing music set I listened to on my iPod shuffle during my 25-minute walk:
– “Breathe You In” – Thousand Foot Krutch
– “Glorious” – Ever Stays Red
– “Nuisance” – John Reuben With Matt Thiessen
– “New Skeptic” – The Fold
– “Strong Tower” – Kutless
– “Live Like We’re Alive” – Nevertheless
– “Awake” – Seventh Day Slumber

5.  After the walk I ventured over to the former sanctuary of Life Pointe Church to help stuff thousands of Easter Eggs with candy in preparation of this MASSIVE event that’s gonna rock Homestead on Good Friday. After that I hung out with most of the prayer group that meets at the original church building every Saturday morning. We all did Lunch together at Loly’s Restaurant in the Old Dixie Center just up the road. It was a great time of fun, food, and fellowship.

Bedtime Stories

It’s Thursday night. It’s 8:30 PM. I can’t think of a better time than now to post my ‘Bedtime Stories’ for tonight – brought to you by Boston Market.

Today at Lunch time I took my car for a much-needed bubble bath at Busy Bee Car Wash up in Perrine. I’ve been going to that place for the past 4 cars and 19 years. They always do a good job cleaning it all up for me.

After that I went over to The Living Word Christian Bookstore in Cutler Bay. I spent a good half-hour there browsing around the whole store, and I bought a few items as well.

Lunch was next, and I ate at the Boston Market at the corner of Useless-One and Quail Roost Drive. They are very unorganized there as far as ordering, paying for, and receiving your food, but the utter chaos became a memory once I sunk in to that delicious food !

Well that’s how I spent my Lunch hour two-hours today.

Tomorrow on the blog I’ve got your ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’. That’s where I ping some of my favourite blog entries of this past week.

Until then remember this:

Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

Flesh-eating bananas ?

Bananas

If you receive an E-Mail stating that killer bananas from Costa Rica have been infected by flesh-eating bacteria and have decimated the local monkey population and are now on their way to the U.S. and could be at your local grocery store tomorrow – then don’t believe it. It’s not true. It’s all made up.

There are at least two (and probably more) variants of this particular E-Mail floating around in cyberspace. The Costa Rica banana scare (hoax) actually began way back at the start of 2000. Read all about it. Check out this timeline of ‘The Great Internet Banana Scare Of 2000’.

The Internet is the gift that just keeps on giving. Television has its endless reruns, and so does the Internet. What was a hoax way back in 2000 is still a hoax here in 2008. Bored people like to bring these hoaxes back from the dead, revive them, and pollute our bandwidth with them. They may look new to you (particularly if you’ve never seen them before), but common sense rules here. If it doesn’t sound true then it probably isn’t true, so don’t forward such diatribe. Hit that {DELETE} key !
