The Major’s Walk-A-Thon

The standard-issue ‘walk-around-my-neighbourhood’ Saturday morning edition of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ shall return next weekend. This morning I slept in. How ultimately radical I was to sleep in until shortly past 7 AM !

Last night I was up late with a bunch of my closest friends in Life, and we hung out at this festive joint up in Westchester.

Santa’s Enchanted Forest claims to be ‘The World’s Largest Christmas Theme Park’, and they may just have a legitimate stake to that claim. We walked for miles and miles last night. Much of it was back-and-forth walking, but it was certainly more walking than I would ever do on a typical Saturday morning walk around my neighbourhood.

For years and years in November and December I had driven by that bright spectacle along the west side of the Palmetto Expressway. Now I can say that I’ve finally experienced it. It was all good. I had a ton of fun in the lights of Christmas !

This morning I walked some more – inside and all-around the Homestead Kohl’s store. I went on a MASSIVE hour-long shopping spree that would excite any woman. I clearly purchased over $200 worth of much-needed merchandise and walked out of the store paying about 50% less than that. The savings were ENORMOUS at Kohl’s. If you haven’t been there in awhile then you need to check it out my Christmas shopping friends !

… And that’s how I walk the walk …

Saturday Morning Shenanigans

I had the whole wide store to myself for a good half hour of browsing fun. That was at Kohl’s this morning at the MAMMOTH new Homestead Pavilion shopping complex. I actually spent nearly an hour in that beautiful store, and I was very impressed with what they had to offer. Think of it as an upscale Target (which in turn is an upscale Wal Mart). If you’re looking for clothes, kitchen appliances, and bedroom and bathroom accessories then go and check out Kohl’s.

After Kohl’s I went to Starbucks where I picked-up a delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte and a delightful slice of Pumpkin Loaf (bread).

I always experience the weirdest scenarios at Starbucks. When I pulled in to the parking lot I was actually concerned whether or not they were even open for business. There was nobody there. When I walked in to the joint I was the only one there (aside from a few baristas). I was actually able to review the menu board for more than 10 seconds to see what I really wanted. Unfortunately it wasn’t much more than 10 seconds, for just as soon as I was trying to figure out what I wanted to order – a couple walked in – then another couple – then an entire family – then even more people. Before I knew it I was literally holding up the line for at least a dozen sleepy people ! I pretty much defaulted on the whole ‘pumpkin’ idea. The pumpkin loaf was actually not my idea, but the barista’s idea for me. Luckily for her it turned out to be moist and delicious.

And so those – my friends – are my ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigans’ for this go-’round. I’ll leave you with this interesting news item from Tokyo Japan. Check it out:

UNCERTAINTY AT JAPANESE BANKS

Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and the run on Northern Rock in the U.K. uncertainty has now hit Japan. In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up, and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.

Yesterday it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song, while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived.

While Samurai Bank is soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank is reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.

Furthermore 500 staff members at Karate Bank got the chop, and analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal.
