RUBBER TIRES AND RIBS

Hump Day is Here Speakies:

That middle day of the week is back once again and once more we are on the downside of the work week. Central Florida is crowded this week with tourists enjoying the Easter Vacation break. The Space Coast should be packed starting today with the anticipated lift-off of the Space Shuttle Endeavour on April 29th. We can see the shuttles go off from our back yard but I imagine being there to feel the earth move under your feet is quite a thrill. If you are visiting and reading my post and wish to see the shuttle go up if it does get there early because traffic will be a nightmare. Good Luck.

Today there are two holidays to celebrate:

PLAYGROUND SAFETY DAY – In the youthful days of JoeyZ I don’t think safety was a top priority for the various playgrounds. I can remember some of those swings got pretty rusty and there were a few splinters in my butt from time to time. The sliding boards were a little off balance at times and that carousel that spins around was also wobbly. The basketball rims with nets were hard to find and at times we brought our own and the feather weight of the group got hoisted on someone’s shoulders to put it up. The equipment standards used today has certainly changed for the better with the stress emphasized on safety for the little ones. But take heed parents always keep an eye out on where your children are because the crazies of the world do exist and still are preying on those we love.

PRIME RIB DAY – I love bringing in a food holiday and this is a good one. The times I ate Prime Rib were at weddings, banquets and on several cruises for dinner. I like mine medium and love horseradish on the side to dip the meat in. Some rib lovers like the end cut but I dislike a tough piece of meat and believe me I’ve had my share over the years. Here is my perfect Prime Rib dinner: PRIME RIB MEDIUM, HORSERADISH ON THE SIDE, BAKED POTATO WITH SOUR CREAM, BUTTER and CHIVES AND A SIDE ORDER OF TENDER ASPARGUS TIPS.

Makes you hungry YES. Take the Dolls out tonight Guys and enjoy a nice Prime Rib and a fine glass of wine. Have a wonderful day and evening. See you all soon.
