Pizza and Crazies

Just to alert anyone coming to Central Florida from the New Jersey area, here are my 2choices for pizza down here to try, in Kissimmee, we have LaForchetta and Al's. In the Winter Garden area of Florida, my cohorts at work say you have to try Winter Garden Pizza Company. Several co-workers attended a conference last year in Jupiter, Florida and loved a place I told them must be good if it's called a tomato pie, the place is Nick's Tomato Pie, 1697 West Indiantown Road, Jupiter, FL. If anyone is down that area, give it a try. Any new ones that come across my desk will be posted here.

Now for the crazies. I believe the crazies all migrate to Florida, this must be their Purgatory until they reach their cosmic end. The TV news is loaded with their stories, so I thought when I come upon a great headline, I will post it on my Blog for all to shake their heads or laugh. To Roe and I the news reporting down here is a joke and I reflected that in my first book. You'll have to buy a copy in August and read it for yourself. Have a nice day and as the crazies arrive, I'll post their headline stories for you.

TGIF

Just a short note today telling all my readers to have a great weekend. Weather is great down here, lower 80's during the day and in the 60's at night. Enjoy whatever you do this weekend and have fun.

2 Videos on You Tube

My post of March 10 contains 2 videos, I received from Jeff. One is a short trip down Brunswick Ave. in Trenton through Polish town, the other is a farce on the governor and state house about spending. Just copy and paste to your home internet page and watch. Thanks Jeff.

Mack, enjoying your posts keep them coming. Beautiful day here in Florida high near 82 and a nice breeze. Hope you all have a nice day and a wonderful evening. For my readers up north, I hope you watch a TV show called "Life on Mars". Great show based on the 1970's cops in NYC. Sci-Fi twist with 70's background.

Greetings from Sunny Florida

Well I can't use Greetings from Asbury Park on this posting, so sunny Florida will have to do. It's a beautiful day, temps in the middle 80's and no rain. Rain we can use, lots of brush fires around the various areas of the state and with no rain thing will not get better. Hope this day finds all my readers doing well. Not much to report on today, no new pizza leads to check out. The other day I was shopping at Target and they had a sample booth featuring pizza. The nice lady asked if I wanted to try a sample and I said sure. It was a store brand pizza, spinach and goat cheese, not bad, had a good taste and for $4 I bought one to take home. I told Roe about the pie and when she is feeling better I'll bake it up and we'll share it with a couple brews. Now I'm a regular pie guy, you know pepperoni, sausage, peppers and anchovies. Stuff like pineapple,ham and chicken does not belong on a pie, but this one I figured keeps with the Italian tradition. Spinach and cheese they go together.

Well if any readers find a good tomato pie place in their travels across Florida, let me know. Everyone have a great evening and enjoy the extra light.

Quit Messing with the Time

Alright everyone it's Daylight Savings Time once again. Bad enough getting up to go to work and it's dark, but driving in it has to go. I know in time it will be lighter in the morning, but I have my right to complain now, as I'm falling asleep at my desk. We need a solution to this time and work problem. Here's my idea, work week should be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday only. Hours 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., most productive time. Let's face it from 8 a.m. till 10 a.m. all we do is get coffee and catch up on what occurred the night before. After 2 p.m. all we do is watch the clock till 5 p.m. comes, so what's the use staying there. On Monday everyone is burned out so no meaningful work is done and let's be honest, Friday is one fun day planning the weekend, taking a longer lunch, why work.

That's my solution simple and easy, saves time, energy and the economy. I like it. Have a great evening everyone. Enjoy.

Saturday, March7,2009

Just a fast weekend post to say hello to everyone, don't forget to put your clocks ahead 1 hour before bed time.

Thanks to Jeff

I believe this came from my son Jeff in Sarasota, he's a big DeLorenzo's fan along with Nino's on Chambers Street. Check this video out on You Tube. Enjoy, did I see Barb P. coming in with the crowd.

Book Update

Received all the necessary paperwork to complete the processing portion of publishing my book. Roe and I chose a cover, inside page design, and I filled out the tax form.
Copyrighted material a concern, reviewed the manuscript, made some changes, but I really never used any copyrighted material. Finally reached the project manager today, they were having problems with Hotmail Accounts, very apologetic, advised me to e-mail the final version plus send a hard disk copy. Did all that, ready to roll, will receive sample in a few weeks. Book should be on market in August of 2009. Will let you all know so you can buy one. Everyone have a great weekend and keeping eating those tomato pies.

Very Proud

Just wanted to let everyone know how proud I am of Roe being chosen as a new design board team member in her scrapbooking adventures.

Weather warming up here in Florida and one busy day here at work. Almost time to leave, everyone have a good evening.

Thanks Tomato Pie Lovers

Thank you Barb and Stephen on your tomato pie comments. You just keep making me hungry.
