Guest post of the week by Roscoe Harris

I am planning the perfect vacation; however, I am having a hard time deciding the perfect location. I would like to visit Panama City Beach, Florida or Aspen, Colorado. Although either location would provide for a getaway, each location is very different and would result in a different vacation experience. Things to consider when deciding upon a vacation location would include weather, activities available, and expenses involved. I must contrast each location in order to make a decision on my vacation destination. I knew I had to take these matters into my own hands and research each thoroughly. I turned on my direct TV, I turned on the discovery channel. The discovery channel went into depth with different places to visit and things to do at each. I took each place into consideration when planning my trip. I can’t wait to travel and see the places of the world. I’m so thankful I finally have the time to enjoy the things I have always wanted to.

My mom lives so far out in the country that she doesn’t have access to too many things. The closest grocery store is about 50 miles away from her house. I don’t know how she does it, but she loves it out there. I could never be that far away from convenience! The utility company doesn’t even offer internet connections out there, so she had to get wild blue satellite internet to keep in touch. I will never understand why after so many years of living in Chicago mom felt like she needed to move to the country. She raised my sisters and I to be city girls through and through, and then all of a sudden she was sick of the lifestyle. I’m supportive of her decisions as long as they make her happy. She comes to see us pretty often anyways, so the way I see it, she gets the best of both worlds. She has her peaceful country life, and then she can come and see her children and grandchildren in Chicago whenever she wants to get back to the faster pace.

I was just thinking about the next time I go on vacation, I’d like to go to DisneyWorld.  I enjoy the fact that so many of their attractions are NOT wild roller-coaster rides!  They have a lot of live entertainment shows on the streets that entertain people who are not actively going in an attraction.  They take great strides to keep the park clean, and the employees there are always so pleasant and professional.  Yeah, DisneyWorld is one of my favorite vacation spots!  I wouldn’t mind moving there and working there when I finally move out of the house.  I don’t know what job I would want, but it is just such a happy feeling place, I wouldn’t mind being there all the time!

March means a lot of things to me, such as the new day to set your clocks forward for Daylight Savings Time, the first day of Spring, March 20, and my brother’s birthday today. I always call my brother on his birthday to check on him and wish him a happy birthday.

Today when I called, he was all excited about some tickets to a basketball game. For a lot of people, I guess the month of March only means, March Madness as the college teams all fight for their rankings at the end of their season.

When the regular TV season for the major networks ended before Christmas, I just drifted away from watching much TV. I like to watch movies, and have rented a lot of good ones from Redbox these past couple of months. Now I am bored with movies and wish there were some good TV shows on worth watching. This time of year is still a lot of reruns and boring shows. Do you have any show that you make an effort to watch at night?
