What?!?
It’s February 19 already?
Man, where has the time gone?
Tv, work, Wii, Facebook… Nothing productive except that Olive Louise Jenkins Smith was the top fundraiser in her pack for the 2009 Paws in the Park.
BetaMike got a new car.
Its a Volkswagen Rabbit, but he calls it a Beta-Bunny.
We have a new President but I am not […]
I spent the week at our corporate office in Greater New Orleans (Jefferson Parish) and participated in my first (and last) crawfish boil!
It was a quarterly service anniversary at headquarters so they had a service award ceremony followed by a crawfish boil done up by a company called Mr. MudBug - they are a full-service […]
Here we go again!
Looks like JohnnyBerry’s™ flight from New Orleans to Orlando is delayed.
The originating flight from Miami to Orlando was delayed by 30 minutes, so now the flight from Orlando to New Orleans will be delayed.
What is sad is that it is a 3:30pm flight and JohnnyBerry™ started getting email notifications of the delay starting […]
I was supposed to fly to New Orleans from Orlando at 2:10 pm today.
I received a telephone call from Delta around 11am that my flight was delayed by an hour.
Then I received another telephone call as I was getting off the shuttle at Orlando International Airport stating that my flight was delayed another 45 minutes.
Then […]
But I just couldn’t wait, so while I was in Miami last week, I stopped by the brand new IKEA in Sunrise!!
There were hundreds if not thousands of items I wanted to purchase! But the one thing that leapt out at me was the DAVE Laptop Table (Item #20078234)!
In fact, I liked it so […]
Don’t you just hate it when you discover something new while traveling only to find out that that “new” thing has been right in your back yard and under your nose the entire time?
I am talking about Publix Sabor. I found one this morning in Hialeah while looking for some Danon Lite & Fit Yogurt […]
As I am losing more and more weight and realizing that this is pretty easy, I am continually angry at myself for not doing this sooner.
All this took was willpower.
As a result, I am viewing the world in a more discriminatory bent. Meaning, I have very little patience for large folks that complain about being […]
On the advice of some locals (All Shook Down’s Parents), I hit a local spot here in the greater New Orleans area on my first night back in town.
Tonight I went to “Smitty’s Seafood Restaurant & Oyster Bar” in Kenner.
Not being a big seafood eater, I passed on the all you can eat boiled or […]
For those of you that haven’t heard, Ted Turner raises bison on his ranch in Montana, and has opened up restaurants all over the place to feed unsuspecting Americans his meat!
One of these places is in Jacksonville, and I was able to have lunch there today with one of my mentors, J. Glenn Marvin III.
I […]
But I have been traveling…
Today and tomorrow JohnnyBerry™ is traveling for work, and this week my journeys have taken me to Jacksonville, Florida.
Tonight I had dinner at Blue Bamboo (3820 Southside Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32216) and had one of the best meals of my life.
Notwithstanding the restaurant is owned and operated by one of BetaMike’s oldest and dearest friends, […]
I am traveling for work, and am not too far from home. In fact I am about 127 miles from home in the almost-lovely VERY BADLY planned community of Port Saint Lucie, Florida (think ugly subdivisions dumping their traffic onto feeder roads and then onto the main roads without a downtown or any planned commercial […]
I ordered room service one evening during my stay. I was tired from driving all over Miami looking at cemeteries and such. I admit I could have just was easily walked downstairs and ordered a sandwich.
But I was tired.
Since it was still “technically” my “splurge” day, I ordered me an authentic Cuban sandwich and potato […]
Get your dirty minds out of the gutter! I am not talking about a sexual 5-way (but this experience was better than any sex I have had lately).
I am talking about Skyline Chili’s famous 5-way! I do not normally care for anything from the northern states, and even though Cincinasty is in Ohio and it […]
This sign was in the elevator at my hotel.
In all my years of travel, I have never seen anyone rollerblade or bicycle through a hotel lobby, but since this sign exists that means it must have happened at least once.
Why are people so stupid? Coffee is hot, why print on the coffee cups that the […]
My last full day visiting the pretentious City of Fort Lauderdale was a very lovely day. Not a cloud in the sky and it was very nice outside. So I decided to sit on the balcony to enjoy the nice weather.
As I was “enjoying the nice weather” with my digital camera… I couldn’t help but […]
Twas the afternoon of a Tuesday, and JohnnyBerry™ was a-workin’…
When out from the boat dock came a big clatter…
JohnnyBerry™ jumped up from the commode to see what was the matter…
From the balcony overlooking the Intercoastal what did JohnnyBerry™ see…
A mother-fucking hot as hell boy waiting for the water taxi…
From a distance…. God JohnnyBerry™ is watching […]
I am traveling for work.
I usually have to stay at a Hampton Inn or a Hilton Garden Inn as our travel office always books us at the Hilton Family of Hotels.
The last few trips to Miami have not been too good for me hotel-wise, so I asked the travel gal to book me somewhere nice […]
Olive Hill, Kentucky
Interesting sight! A pick-up truck with a washing machine and poles for a clothesline. No dryer, so it must be an “Eastern Kentucky laundromat”!!
