PACKERS FALL IN PRE-SEASON ACTION




The Green Bay Packers fell to the Cincinnati Bengals last night 20-17 in pre-season NFL action. It really doesn't matter who wins these practice games but for the Packers they are try to work out the kinks for 1st year QB starter Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers looked pretty good at QB throwing 1 TD and 1 INT which really wasn't his fault. The Packers will have 3 more practice games to get everything together before they open the season at home against Minnesota. Well dad came home from the beach yesterday and will be here for a few days before heading back down to the OBX, I might have to go down there just so I can play the Wii again. I think that I might start having Wii withdrawals soon. It almost feels like fall this morning here in CH, it is a cool crisp 59 degrees this morning however it will be heading back into the upper 80's this afternoon. My PAIN index has been elevated slightly this morning because I haven't slept well since Friday for some reason. MICKEY

Don't be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. One man gets only a week's value out of a year while another man gets a full year's value out of a week.
