The Standing Egg

Bob FranquizUncategorized

I mentioned this in a recent post, but failed to post this picture. Here’s a picture of an egg standing straight up on the Fall Equinox. I don’t understand this stuff (my wife tried to explain it to me), but it has something to do with the rotation of the earth… enjoy.

YEE-HAW

Bob FranquizUncategorized

So I’m taking my morning walk and as I’m walking past the 7AM traffic I see out of nowhere 2 guys riding horses on the sidewalk across the street. That’s a Miami first for me. I’ve never seen that before. This is odd enough, but when it’s compounded with the news report that the folks in the office were talking about on Wednesday, about a cow that was loose in a gated community down the street from our offices. So break out your over-alls and your straw hat, because I’m starting to think that Miami is going from city to … Read More

It isn’t the 4th of July without…

…The Annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. As a fan of competitive eating, I look forward to seeing men and women stuff their faces with hot dogs every July 4th. This year was a shocker as Kobiashi was defeated by Joey “Jaws” Chestnut as he ate 66 hot dogs and buns. Carey couldn’t believe that I was sitting in front of the TV eating lunch while I watched this battles of wills (and stomachs) take place. I don’t know what she was more grossed out by, watching men puke up 40 hot dogs or my running commentary on the competition … Read More

Monkey See…Monkey Do…

I was driving home from Tampa with my buddy Travis from a Pastor’s coaching network I’m a part of and we see this Porche with a monkey at the wheel. What? Did you read that correctly? Yes, a monkey! Like the one in the movie Outbreak! Anyway, people don’t believe me when I tell them that weird stuff happens to me all the time, so I told Travis to speed up so I could take a picture on my Treo. Here’s the proof…

My nephew had his graduation party at the local Elk’s club with 200 of his closest friends. As I walked in, I saw this reserved parking sign in the front of the spot closest to the door. I wonder if my staff would go for this? The title does have a ring to it 🙂

Now it’s getting out of hand!

When my church credit card # was stolen and coffee that I didn’t order showed up to the office, it was odd. The next day when skin care products that I didn’t order showed up, it was annoying. But Fed Ex just dropped off a box that opened and contained 9 bottles of wine that I didn’t order! Now it’s getting out of hand. At this level of escalation, I don’t know what to expect next… Thankfully this was caught and we aren’t getting charged for any of it. It’s just causing me to have to call these companies and … Read More
