Saturday Morning Shenanigans

Here are a few thoughts from my Saturday morning:

1.  I walked in to Miami Internacional Aeropuerto at exactly 6:45 AM, and by 7:15 AM I had successfully self-checked-in with my airline, picked up my tag for my suitcase, and dropped off my suitcase with the screening section. By 7:30 AM I had successfully gone through security. It took a little over 45 minutes to get from the outside of the terminal to the actual gate. That’s not too bad. Anytime I can get from outside to the gate in less than an hour is a good time.

2.  Your typical big city airport may be crowded, but it can also be one of the loneliest places in the world. It’s never about the sheer number of people. It’s always about the quality of the interaction of the people. Call it fellowship. If there’s a lack of fellowship then it’s not fully alive.

3.  There were large organized groups of missionaries at the airport. Most of them came from or were headed to various Caribbean nations (such as Haiti) to assist in the relief efforts there. I know this because they all had colourful tee-shirts on stating that they were missionairies. Some of the tee-shirts had a map of Haiti on them. Some of them had a verse from Matthew on them.

4.  I usually can’t sleep at all no matter how hard I try to up in the air, but this morning I managed to somehow catch a few catnaps at 38,000 feet. I also listened to the hits on my iPod Shuffle and watched a couple of funny CBS sitcoms on the overhead monitors – “The Big Bang Theory” and “The New Adventures Of Old Christine“.

5.  Fuddruckers – It’s What Was For Lunch !  Need I say more my friends ?

Friday Night Blogroll Review

You know what you want on a Friday night. That’s why you’re here !

The baptisms last Sunday afternoon at Homestead Bayfront Park went on without incident, and Pastor Travis has all of the proof that you need.

Phil debuted his own version of the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ today, and he called it ‘Friday’s Grestest Hits’. I looked up ‘grest’ in the dictionary, and I couldn’t find it in there. That word – along with ‘goosfaba’ – may need to be added to the new book that I’m planning to write that’s all about misspelled words. They are the loneliest words in the world !

Jesse recaps his Sunday – from the stage to the beach to his home.

Blake and Diego are chillin’.

Bill may actually love Homestead after all !

Let us pray with Luci !

Pastor Nathan is back in town, back at work, and back on the blogosphere.

OK I feel better now. I just wrapped-up the majority of my packing for my upcoming vacation. It’s either in my suitcase or in my carry-on bag. If it’s not in either of those two then I’m either not bringing it or I still need to use it between now and Saturday morning. Some people do all of their packing an hour or two before they leave – or the night before. I do most of my packing at least 36 to 48 hours in advance, and then I use that time in-between to ensure that I didn’t forget anything. I’m organized like that.

So anyway tomorrow is a special day here on the big blog. It’s ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ time. It’s where I give back to some of my favourite bloggers in the blogosphere. Check out some of my favourite blog entries of this past week. You won’t regret it pal.

Then on Saturday be sure to check out my ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigans’ which will probably be all about my crazy adventures from Homestead to MIA to DFW to Allen Texas on Saturday morning. Look for it on here on Saturday night.

On Sunday I present to you a very special off-season edition of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ LIVE from the River Walk en San Antonio.

It’s all comin’ up this weekend – right here on ‘The Major’s Life Blog’.

Have a cool and relaxing Thursday night everyone, and until we hang out again on here remember this:

HOW TO COOK A RAW EGG WITH TWO CELL PHONES:

An Egg Between Two Cell Phones

A Soft-Boiled Egg

Vladimir Lagovski and Andrei Moiseynko from Komsomolskaya Pravda Newspaper in Moscow decided to learn first-hand how harmful cell phones are. There is no magic in cooking with your cell phone. The secret is in the radio waves that the cell phone radiates.

The journalists created a simple microwave structure as shown in the (first) picture. They called from one cell phone to the other and left both phones on talking mode. They placed a tape recorder next to the phones to imitate sounds of speaking so the phones would stay on.

After 15 minutes the egg became slightly warm. After 25 minutes it became very warm. After 40 minutes it became very hot. After 65 minutes it was cooked !

IMAGINE THE DAMAGE YOU’RE DOING TO YOURSELF EVERY TIME YOU USE A CELL PHONE !

IMAGINE THIS BEING … AN INTERNET HOAX !
