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’.

Bedtime Stories

It’s time for the Sunday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’ – brought to you by Puffs.

Another 7-day week has concluded here on this blog, and it was the 2ND busiest week in our WordPress history based on total views. It was the busiest Monday in 5 weeks, the 2ND busiest Friday of 2008, the busiest Saturday ever, and the 3RD busiest Sunday of 2008. It was the busiest Thursday / Friday / Saturday / Sunday 4-day period ever!  Thank You Everyone for reading this blog on a regular basis !

I’ve got what appears to be my unprecedented 3RD cold in less than 5 months. Once upon a time I used to get a cold about once every 18 months to 3 years. Of course that was back when I was a plastic mannequin. This past Friday night I was amongst an estimated 5,000 to 9,000 adults, teens, and kids at the ‘Moonlight Easter Egg Hunt‘ at Harris Field, and on this glorious Easter Sunday morning there were over 700 of us at the movie theatre for Life Pointe Church services. I was shaking hands and hugging people all over the place this morning, and now I have a head cold. Go figure !

I’ve already E-Mailed in sick to work for tomorrow. I think that it’s best for me to sleep-in tomorrow morning and feel better before I go back to work (hopefully on Tuesday morning).

So until you hear from me again here on the blog please pray that I feel better soon. Oh yeah, and remember this:

Puffs:  A nose in need deserves Puffs indeed.

Have a safe and peaceful night everyone. Good Night Venus.

Bedtime Stories

It’s past 11 PM EDT on this Good Friday night, and I just got home from the ‘Moonlight Easter Egg Hunt‘ at Harris Field about 30 minutes ago.

I was on my two feet for nearly 8 hours non-stop this afternoon and this evening, but now I am sitting down here at my computer. I forgot how nice sitting down actually feels !  I can’t wait to get in that bed of mine to lay down and go to sleep. I’m pretty sure that’s going to feel totally awesome as well !

Tomorrow morning’s regularly-scheduled ‘Walk-A-Thon’ has been cancelled. I got enough exercise standing up and walking around for 8 hours today. In lieu of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ I shall present to you a very special edition of the ‘Tossed Salad’ featuring a recap of the events of today.

Until then remember this:

Have a good night’s sleep on us. Mattress Discounters !

Good Night Everyone !

Bedtime Stories

It’s right around 8:30 PM EDT on a Thursday night, and I’ve got your ‘Bedtime Stories’ for you right here – right now !

This is the calm before the holiday weekend storm. I’m enjoying the calm – the peace, the quiet, the safety, and the security of my own home. But I can’t wait for the storm to begin. The storm of faith, fellowship, and Love at Harris Field in the heart of Homestead tomorrow afternoon and evening, and the glorious celebration of Easter Sunday at Life Pointe Church for about 5 hours on Sunday morning.

I’m working tomorrow morning, but then I’m taking the afternoon off. I plan to be on-site at Harris Field tomorrow afternoon right around 3 PM or so to help get that place transformed into our ‘Moonlight Easter Egg Hunt‘. We will totally ROCK that place for several thousand guests for about 4 hours tomorrow night. Gates open to the public at 6 PM, and the fun begins shortly thereafter. Be there for the biggest Good Friday event in Homestead’s history !

I’ll have an early edition of your ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ posted here on the blog shortly after 12 noon tomorrow, and then late on Friday night (or early on Saturday morning) I’ll have the ‘Life Pointe Church Moonlight Easter Egg Hunt Tossed Salad’ on here featuring a full recap of the night’s events.

Until we meet tomorrow afternoon at Harris Field, or until we meet back here at the blog remember this:

L’Eggo My Eggo !

Have a great night everyone !
