PACKERS LOSE, VIRGINIA ON THE ROAD TONIGHT

The Green Bay Packers lost to the Atlanta Falcons yesterday 20-17, the Packers simply didn't make the most of there opportunities that they had offensively. The Redskins also lost yesterday losing to the lowly Vikings 17-13 at home, the Redskins offense made the Vikings defense looks like it was the best in the NFL. The Virginia basketball team will be on the road tonight at Minnesota looking to knock off the Golden Gophers. I thought it was cold yesterday morning but I think this morning has yesterday beat, it is 25 here in the Heights right now. Also I am a bit banged up this morning from Getting the leaves up the yard Saturday and getting the Christmas decorations out of the attic yesterday. My left wrist, right hip and back are alls sore.

Animal pals help us stay healthy
People with pets seem to enjoy better overall health. Researchers know that joy and laughter trigger the release of chemicals in the brain that enhance your immune function. Pets make us smile and laugh with their amusing antics and lovable gestures. It turns out that petting something fluffy is a proven immune boost. A Wilkes University study found that stroking a dog for 18 minutes caused a significant increase in secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA), your body’s natural antibody against invading germs. Another study found that people with pets make fewer doctor visits, especially for non-serious medical conditions. A household pet could be just what the doctor ordered!
