I know that I haven’t been as active in posting new information (but there is plenty of information to digest nonetheless).

Still, I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and say thank you for reading Carpentersville Action Network.

Here’s a little Holiday treat … one of the better lights and music displays I’ve seen recently…

On Thursday, May 15th, McDonald’s will be giving you free chicken all day long.

That’s right, you can eat free fried chicken for breakfast, lunch and dinner at McDonald’s as they offer you chicken on a biscuit for breakfast, and a southern style chicken sandwich for lunch and dinner.

So what’s the catch?

You have to purchase a medium or large drink.

For those wondering about the fat and calories … it will set you back 420 calories and 19 grams of fat for the sandwich (20 grams of fat for the biscuit).

Enjoy!

Thought that maybe it might be good to throw in a little change of pace here …

I received the following in an email:  Sunset at the North Pole

This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point … A scene you will probably never get to see in person…

It’s February 29th. You only get a chance like this once every 4 years. What are you going to do with your leap day?

McDonald’s is giving a free McSkillet Burrito with purchase of a medium or large drink during breakfast hours. Nice, but at 610 calories and 36 grams of fat I can’t afford it. Perhaps at my age if it had 36 grams of fiber instead of fat…

I’ve long been a fan of superheros … Superman, Batman, Spiderman, etc. The recent Spiderman and Batman movies have been quite good. So, I’m excited about the upcoming Ironman movie (although, was Ironman technically a superhero since he didn’t really have super powers?), opening May 2. Check out the trailer. Ok, that was 2 minutes of your extra 24 hours … what’s next?

Perhaps some more later …

valentine.jpgIt’s Valentine’s Day. It’s the one day that we don a red shirt or a heart-shaped pin and revel in love. We give and receive chocolate. We over pay for flowers.

And, for a couple of hours, we can try to be the people we want to be.

Guys, let’s face it. We usually suck in the romance department. So, take some time today to treat the lady in your life right.

Open the door for her when she goes to put the laundry in the machine. Plug and unplug the vacuum cleaner for her as she moves about from room to room. Rinse your dish before leaving it in the sink for her to put into the dish washer.

Remember, guys … its the little things.

And, ladies, don’t forget to show him you appreciate all that thoughtfulness…

In the tradition of “Casual Friday” (that tended to turn into “Casual Everyday”), I thought it might be good to lighten things up a bit on Fridays … with a post or two that was a bit more fun… So, if you have anything that you see during the week that might qualify for a “Casual Friday” posting, email it in. I’ll look over the emails I get each week and pick one or two of the better ones to post.

I received the following images via email and found them rather clever. (Click on each image to see it bigger.)  Enjoy.

Merry Christmas!

Blogging is going to be light over the next week or so, as I take time off for the Christmas holiday.

Be sure to check in next week for a year-end retrospective as well as some hopes and resolutions for next year.
