THIS YEARS COLLEGE FOOTBALL PICK-EM CONTEST

I just thought I would drum up some interest for this years Mickey's Place College Football Pick-em Contest. Last year we 10 people participate in the contest and this year we have added two more people and we are looking at possibly adding 1 or 2 more people as well. If you know anybody else who would like to play let me know. I have posted the results from last years contest below to refresh the memories of those who forgot who won and lost. I have to say that I did pretty well last year winning the contest by 8 games over Keith and John, and I have to say Lee has no where to go but up. This years contest began 3 weeks from tonight.

Craving potato chips? Have kale chips, edamame, rice cakes, unsalted pretzels, or low-fat microwave popcorn instead. Maybe you just really want to aimlessly stuff your face with something and it doesn't necessarily have to be a bag of super-oily, super-unhealthy potato chips.

Find your enthusiasm
What is it that excites you, and gets you fired up in a positive way, and makes it impossible for you to sit still? Whatever it is, fill your awareness with it.

Bright, sparkling, delicious enthusiasm will get you going in a powerful, purposeful direction. Enthusiasm will keep you going strong even when nothing seems to be going your way.

There's something, some goal, some dream, some intrinsic purpose that will put you in a state of irrepressible enthusiasm. Get busy, find it and connect with it because when you do your effectiveness will skyrocket.

Let yourself dream your biggest, most wonderful and fulfilling dreams. Then reach in, grab the very essence of those dreams and you'll have a handful of priceless enthusiasm.

The best that you can imagine is already within you. So bring it to the surface and let it positively infect your whole world.

Find your own unique, joyful and powerful enthusiasm. And let it carry you to magnificent places.
