Bedtime Stories

The weakening U.S. dollar may soon be the victim of yet another currency abroad. Following in the footsteps of the Canadian dollar which is now worth more than the U.S. dollar is the Australian dollar. A couple of days ago it closed just shy of U.S. 95¢. That’s up from 7 years ago in March 2001 when 2 Australian dollars equaled 1 U.S. dollar. And you wondered why there were so many Australian tourists here in the U.S. !

Daylight Savings Time does not begin this weekend. It begins on the 2ND weekend of March, so that’s next weekend. Next Sunday morning at 2 AM it will suddenly become 3 AM, and daylight will arrive later in the morning but linger on later into the evening.

Those are your ‘Bedtime Stories’ for this Saturday night. I’m getting ready to watch an hour of “Cops” on Fox, and then it’s on to bed I go. Be sure to catch this blog after about 1 PM tomorrow afternoon for the ‘Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad’.

Until then remember this:

The best part of wakin’ up is Folgers in your cup.

Bedtime Stories

You know that Spring is almost here when Major League Baseball is already playing exhibition games. Our Florida Marlins played two games today as they literally split-up into two teams. One team beat the Washington Nationals 4-1 and the other team lost to the Baltimore Orioles 7-5. Yesterday the Marlins thrashed the Orioles 16-3, and the day before that they tied the Nationals 3-3.

The National Weather Service in Miami announced today that the three Winter months of December, January, and February were the warmest Winter season in 76 years – and the second warmest on record. That statistic applies only to Miami International Airport. It does not necessarily apply to Homestead because as we know our weather here can be very different than what is going on at the airport some 30 miles away. Case-in-point here in Homestead we bottomed out at 45°F and 51°F over the past two mornings. At MIA – 50°F and 56°F respectively. We were 5°F colder on both mornings.

Well those are your ‘Bedtime Stories’ for this Friday night. I’m currently watching “Amnesia” on NBC. I’ve got another long walk around my neighbourhood planned for tomorrow morning, so be sure to catch ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ here on this blog shortly thereafter.

Until then remember this:

Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline.

Lipitor Moment Of The Night

I told one of my coworkers about my new Lipitor medication for Life, and she advised me to look out for spontaneous bleeding and black-and-blue marks on my skin in lieu of minor scrapes. I think that she’s heard way too many urban legends regarding the use of Lipitor. Another one of my coworkers suggested that my healthy liver will eventually deteriorate and ultimately fail due to the continued use of Lipitor. I think I’ll continue to listen to Doctors and not Financial Managers.

As for me I’m getting ready to close up this blog for another night. I’ve got two hours of prime time television to watch starting at 9 PM (including “Big Brother 9“), and I need to do a little bit of prepatory work for my Life Group tomorrow night. I’m leading a discussion on God’s relentless love for us and why it’s important to establish, maintain, and strengthen our personal relationship with Him.

I’ll be back on the blog tomorrow (Wednesday), so be sure to check it out to see what’s on my mind. It’s been awhile since I’ve done ‘The Road Rage Files’, so maybe I’ll have enough material for that tomorrow. Have a great night everyone !

Until then remember this:
Irish Spring gives you the fresh, clean feeling of the Irish countryside every time you shower.

But First This Is ‘Today’ On NBC

Wanna get yourself on national television on the most-watched morning show in North America, and also catch a glimpse of Matt Lauer, Meredith Viera, Al Roker, and Ann Curry ?

Head to the Loews Hotel at 1601 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach this Friday morning with your stamina and your homemade posterboard sign, and prepare to wave to your cold friends and family up north.

“The Today Show” is broadcasting LIVE from there.
