It’s a new tradition on a Saturday morning. I pulled in to the narrow and sloped parking lot of Starbucks in Florida City Florida, and I approached the front door of the joint. All of the windows were soaking wet with thick condensation, and there’s a valid reason for that. It’s frigid inside – in the low-to-mid-60s ! It hits you as soon as you enter the unmistakable atmosphere of ‘Yuppieness’. It’s like a cold front at the door – so refreshing on the other side.
TODAY I ordered something new. I went with the Caramel Macchiato. I actually had this all planned out last night. That Starbucks menu board is just so menacing to me. I’m still an amateur customer. If famed Chicago Bears Tight End & Head Coach Mike Ditka were around then I’d just let him choose my coffee of the day (blatant “Kicking & Screaming” reference), but since that option is not on the table I have to go online the night before and pick and choose my beverage.
I also ordered the Black Forest Ham, Egg, & Cheddar Sandwich. It was delicious, and it was the perfect complement to my Caramel Macchiato.
Be sure to join me next Saturday morning for another exciting edition of ‘Starbucks On A Saturday Morning’ – right here on ‘The Major’s Life Blog’. It’s all good !
The Major … OUT !
Loyal blog fan Ela recently filed an informal complaint with ‘The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club’ Board Of Directors stating that this week’s earlier fortune cookie message was essentially null and void due to the fact that it came from a web site (gasp !) rather than from an actual fortune cookie that was received by me in an actual Chinese restaurant.
Point well taken. Lesson learned.
TODAY was a do-over. I ate Lunch at Homestead’s finest place for gourmet Chinese food – wok-cooked and served fast. I’m referring of course to the Panda Express.
OK club members. Here’s the real deal for this week. It’s an actual fortune cookie message from an actual fortune cookie that I ate at the conclusion of my delicious meal today.
‘Through greater effort and hard work a precious dream comes true.’
Well actually my precious dream is my current Life, and it didn’t require much effort or hard work to get here. All I had to do was to wake up, be born again, and there He was – patiently waiting for me after all of these years. He guided me onto this fantastic journey, told me to face forward, and follow Him. I did. I do. It just keeps getting better !
