Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

1 Comment on Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

If it’s Tuesday night then the grab bag is full, so let me let some thoughts loose !

1. Since March 01ST over a FOOT of rain has fallen at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport – and it shows. All of the vegetation in the Metroplex was green and lush – well nourished by Mother Nature. Meanwhile less than 3 inches of rain has fallen at Miami International Airport – and the extreme drought continues. Everything is still brown and crunchy. The Everglades is finally receiving some rain, but until we get some westerly winds in here we won’t see much of it.

2. TODAY is my brother’s and his wife’s 2ND anniversary. They were married in The Bahamas on this very special date in 2007. I’ve often stated that my brother is my favourite person in the entire world, but I’ll also go on record by stating that his wife – Christina – is my 2ND favourite person in the entire world. I like her a lot, and I’ve liked her ever since the minute that I first met her. She has fit in perfectly in our Day family.

3. This past weekend in the northeastern suburbs of Dallas Texas me and my family officially celebrated my brother’s 34TH birthday, my brother’s and his wife’s 2ND anniversary, Mother’s Day, and my 42ND birthday (early). I got one of the nicest birthday gifts in modern history, and it really has to do with modern history – mine. It’s a professional photo album hand-made by Christina (my brother’s wife) chock-full of classic pictures of me from the 1960s through the 2000s. She spent many days (probably weeks) working on this masterpiece. I shall cherish it forever. I also plan to share it with some of my closest friends.

4. This upcoming Sunday marks a sad event – the 2ND anniversary of the death of my cat Boots. A memorial still sits to this day at the edge of one of my living room couches where he used to spend a lot of time. Boots was my little buddy for over a dozen years. His life was cut short by several years due to a variety of feline diseases. I will never forget Boots.

5. I received my brand new Florida license plate in the mail this afternoon. It replaces my current license plate of the past 5 years. The old plate will join 3 others that are currently on display on my master bedroom wall. I can’t believe that I’ve been driving here in America’s Riviera for the past 20 years.

Those are my thoughts on this Tuesday night. Thank You for reading them.

It’s nearly 8:30 PM CDT here in the northeastern suburbs of Dallas Texas, and that of course is 9:30 PM EDT back home in America’s Riviera. My long weekend vacation here in the Metroplex is nearing its end, as my flight from DFW to MIA returns back to home turf at around 3 PM tomorrow (Monday) afternoon.

‘Monday Night Countdown’ is on tap for tomorrow night here on the big green blog, and that of course leads up to the ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’.

I obviously wasn’t at Life Pointe Church in Homestead Florida this morning, so if you really wish to know what happened there then simply ask this guy, or this guy, or this guy, or this guy, or this guy, but don’t bother reading about it in writing because none of them really blog much anymore. That’s right – I’ve pretty much been abandoned deep in the blogosphere, but it’s all good. I will single-handedly hold down the blogging fortress until the next generation of fresh new bloggers emanate from the crowds.

Until we blog again think global, act local, and keep your radio tuned right where it is. This is NBC – the National Broadcasting Company.

Happy Birthday Danny !

TODAY – May 03RD 2009 – is my brother’s 34TH birthday. He was born on this date back in 1975 in Cheverly Maryland (just outside of Washington D.C.).

I remember on the day before this event we rushed our Mom to the hospital, and on the way there our Dad was pulled over for speeding. Once the cop realized that our Mom was in labor he got back in his car and escorted us straight to the hospital (with lights and siren on).

I ended up spending that night at the house of our Uncle / Aunt / Cousins, and the next morning my brother Danny was born into this world.

My brother is my favourite person in the entire world. He always will be.

For the first time ever here on this blog I present to you a picture of him – from about 29 or 30 years ago. That’s the front door of our house that we lived in from February 1975 to November 1980 in Lanham Maryland.
