Several weeks ago as I was cruising the Miami-Dade Metrorail into Downtown Miami we stopped at the Historic Overtown station. I glanced over at a large pile of leftover debris that sat where the Miami Arena once sat. They were building that arena when I first moved to America’s Rivera at the end of 1987. It sat there for [...]

TOMORROW on the big green blog I’ll have your ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigans’ in the morning (in lieu of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ which has been cancelled due to the frigid cold temperatures). Then stick around for a fresh new ‘Saturday Night Retro’ straight from the heart and soul of 1989.

Thursday Night Mini Thoughts
Posted in Blogging, Television, Weather on 01/29/2009 | Leave a Comment »
- Don’t confuse this with the ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’.
- These are the ‘Thursday Night Mini Thoughts’ – in 15 words or less.
- Last week was the pilot episode of it.
- It was a runaway smash hit.
- That means that I’ll be doing this every Thursday night.
- After next week’s ‘Mini Thoughts’ this [...]
My NFL Weekend Game Picks
Posted in Sports, tagged NFL, Super Bowl on 01/29/2009 | 4 Comments »
After 256 regular season games and 10 post season games it all comes down to this – Super Bowl XLIII. It’s an exciting match featuring the 5-time Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers against perhaps the most surprising team to make the Super Bowl in modern history – the Arizona Cardinals – who’ve got a handful [...]
Bedtime Stories

I’m currently watching Hours 5 and 6 of “Make ‘Em Laugh: The Funny Business Of America” on PBS-TV. For the past 3 Wednesday nights in a row from 8 to 10 PM this 6-hour show has pretty much shown the evolution of comedy from Vaudeville to Radio to Television and the biggest stars that evolved [...]

THIS WEEK – 1-1 {.500}
OVERALL – 169-96-1 {.637}
Be sure to check out my absurd Super Bowl XLIII pick tomorrow afternoon here [...]
Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts
Posted in Annoyances, Driving, Food, History, Shopping, Weather on 01/27/2009 | Leave a Comment »
Here’s what’s on my mind on this Tuesday night:
1. I just returned home from Publix at the Oasis Plaza in Homestead. It’s where shopping is a pleasure. It would have been more of a pleasure if there were less people there. That joint was jumpin’. There is no recession in effect at Publix.
2. Traffic in [...]
Homestead Cold Weather Alert
Posted in Sports, Weather on 01/26/2009 | 2 Comments »
Don’t let this week’s upcoming 80°F+ temperatures during the afternoon hours fool you. Another substantial flip-flop in the current North American continental weather pattern will occur later this week. This will begin another extended period of below normal cool days and particularly frigid nights all across America’s Rivera.
I’m currently forecasting the cold air to arrive [...]
Monday Night Countdown

Vacationers and snowbirds alike spend millions of dollars each year to visit this particular region of the U.S.A. that I call home year-round. It’s America’s Riviera, and for those of us who call it home we tend to get bored and restless after awhile. Even we need to go elsewhere on vacation to get away [...]
Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad
Posted in God on 01/25/2009 | 1 Comment »
- It was another loud and rambunctious Sunday morning at the movie theatre.
- That’s how we roll yo !
- It’s what Satan doesn’t want us to do.
- He can go back where he came from.
- The Grace Of God allows us to follow, worship, and idolize Jesus Christ.
- Even a dude that partied to [...]

2002 – What can I say about this crazy year in my previous life ? It kicked-off in a wild way in January – a family vacation en Viva La$ Vega$ – my first visit there. Me, Brother, Mom, and Dad stayed at the New York-New York, and we enjoyed the sights and the sounds of [...]
Bedtime Stories

OK this one is for Ela O., but then again pretty much all of these ‘Bedtime Stories’ are for Ela because this is her obvious favourite occasional series on here. She’d probably prefer to have this as a nightly feature, but I’d rather have her always wanting more.
We talked on the telephone a few nights [...]
