Everyone who got to see me on Sunday and/or Monday! Yes, that was the big surprise. I had managed to get a cheap round trip ticket to the great white north (Michigan) and made my appearance at NewSong Community Church. It was great to see all my friends like; Mudpuppy, Beartracks, Rambler and, of course, Semper Fi! (just some of the great people I got to see)

I love you guys! It was the best Christmas gift that I could give myself. And the look on Semper Fi’s face when I walked in was pure priceless! I also got to spend all Monday hanging out with my real family at my brothers house. Good times were had by all.

I’ll be taking a little break for New Years, but I’ll be back bright and early next week to entertain you with more continuing adventures of SG4JC!

Have A Happy New Year!

Is about to happen. I’ll tell you all about it when Christmas is over.

Just in case you miss it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

I’ll never eat mac & cheese again. I don’t know how I’ll ever go back to eating plain old food after the two mind blowing meals that I’ve had this week. So here’s the low down.

A friend from work who is originally from France graduated from college with his Masters degree (yes he really IS a rocket scientist) this week and invited some of us over to his house on Wednesday for a fish fry and fun. So this guy and and his Dad, who flew in from France for the graduation, and some others went deep sea fishing and each one caught a three foot King fish!

But that’s just the start of the story, His Dads real job is as a chef for a five star restaurant in Monaco! His Dad created for us a five course meal of king fish and fresh shrimp, which included a form of Sashimi with a fantastic sauce, a version of fried shrimp that should make Red Lobster hang it’s head in shame, Shrimp Kabob’s, A main course of baked King fish and potatoes drizzled with olive oil and salt, and cake for dessert! I have never had fish melt in mouth like that before. It was absolutely amazing!

Round two was on Friday when I drove to Miami to meet my Brother and Sis-in-law who were just getting off of a cruise ship. They didn’t have to fly back to Michigan until Saturday, so it was a great chance to meet up for dinner. Before I got there in the evening they had already scoped out an Italian place called Randazzo’s in Coral Gables, FL. If you’re going to eat there, I suggest that you don’t eat anything for at least two days before you go, because their portions aren’t just generous, they’re insane! I chose their Fettuccine Alfredo Losorda without any shrimp or chicken and I couldn’t even eat half of it. My family was having similar trouble finishing their meals. However, each dish was incredible.

So, next weeks blog should probably be about my new weight loss program, cause I’m going to need it if I keep getting fed like that!

Stay tuned for more SG4JC adventures!

My favorite friend and Pastor from that crazy Newsong Community Church just had a Birthday! And He’s still older then ME!

Love Ya Bro!

Anyway, I found out that my work is close enough to Cape Canaveral to actually see it when they launch rockets and such. What an unbelievable sight! Unfortunately, it wasn’t the Shuttle, which is grounded until January. Bleh! Well, I’m still trying to settle into this whole Florida thing. It ain’t as easy as it looks, kids. I can’t get my head wrapped around the idea that it’s Christmas without snow (or at least freezing cold). I met a waitress at a local restaurant who had moved here from New York and she said she’s been here for four years and is still having trouble with the whole warm Christmas thing.

I’ll be visiting Miami this weekend as my real blood brother will be there, so we’re meeting up for chow and gab and such. It should be a good time. I’ll update y’all on my impressions of Miami next week, so until then;

Have A Blessed Christmas!

Good grief, what happened to November? I was at work today and it suddenly occurred to me that it is DECEMBER! So, as far as I can determine that is definitely a downside to being where it’s sunny all year round. I have no clue what season it is.

Anyway, I’ve been discovering the joys of sushi down here. I NEVER thought I’d eat raw fish, but I must admit, I’m really starting to like it, especially anything with tuna in it.

Those buds of mine at work sure love to eat! We go out to lunch at least two or three times a week. Never got that kind of treatment from my old job. I am pretty thankful for my new job. Great place to work, great people to work with, great long term prospects.

And Florida gets cooler the longer I’m here. The people down here are so friendly! It’s just nuts. Even the people that work at the DMV, that right, A government agency. I was just floored by how cool those guys (and gals) were to me (the newbie). So now I’ve got a Florida License and a Florida plate, so I guess it’s official. I’m here for a little while at least.

I know I’m just rambling here, but I ain’t got nothing important to say anyway.

Stay tuned for the continuing adventures of the SG4JC.
