VIRGINIA WIN NCAA SOCCER TITLE, PACKERS & REDKSKINS WIN



The Virginia Cavaliers soccer team won there 6th NCAA Soccer Championship yesterday beating Akron 3-2 on penalty kicks. They played the entire game an 2 overtime periods without scoring before the game was decided on penalty kicks. The Green Bay Packers improved the playoff chances greatly yesterday beating the Chicago Bears 21-14, it wasn't pretty but it was a win none the less. The Washington Redskins beat the Oakland Raiders yesterday 34-13, it was a close game in the 1st half but the Redskins controlled the 2nd half en route to the win. My mouth is feeling much better but I have a couple more ailments now that are bothering me. While wrapping Christmas presents on Saturday I pulled a muscle on my right side and the last night playing basketball I jammed my right thumb playing basketball. Also just in case you forgot Christmas is just 10 days away. MICKEY

Positive Reinforcement: When we accomplish our goals, we reinforce our belief in ourselves to set and accomplish new ones. This helps to muffle negativity, doubt and fear, making way for a "can do" attitude that helps us continue to strive.

Chocolate makes you smarter. Ample research suggests that the flavonols in dark chocolate increase cerebral blood flow, which in turn may trigger the creation of new blood vessels and brain cells. And a new study showed that older adults performed better on cognitive tests after eating small portions of the sweet stuff. Talk about a nourished noggin!

Les said...

I hope it wasn't my gift he was wrapping when he got injured. Like his dad he would probably want to sue me.

Al said...

mickey i think you should give up the christmas wrapping duties,its way too dangerous!! did you do any stretching before you started?

Claire said...

I don't think he should give up wrapping because he wraps my presents. Maybe he should give up basketball.

les better hope he does receive any letters from bobby and mickey's law firm. Duey, Cheetham, and Howe.

Bobby said...

Wy lawyers are Wiiy Cheatham and Howe. Mickey is consulting as we speak because he was thinking about Les when he was wrapping. Sorry Scott ,but Duey has retired since legal action was taken when you caused undue mental and physical stress when you lost my keys.
