A Proclamation By the President of the United States of America
Throughout our history, America has been protected by patriots who cherished liberty and made great sacrifices to advance the cause of freedom. The brave members of the United States Armed Forces have answered the call to serve our Nation, ready to give all for their country. On Veterans Day, we honor these extraordinary Americans for their service and sacrifice, and we pay tribute to the legacy of freedom and peace that they have given our great Nation.
The Virginia Cavaliers absolutely crushed the Miami Hurricanes last night 48-0 in the final game at the Orange Bowl. Everything went well for the Cavaliers last night setting up a showdown with Virginia Tech in two weeks for the Coastal Division championship and the right to play for the ACC title. Speaking of Virginia Tech they beat Florida State 40-21 and Georgia man handled Auburn 45-20. On the not so good side yesterday Marshall embarrassed East Carolina 26-7 in a game there is no way ECU should have lost and the game Scott went to Clemson drubbed Wake Forest 44-10. All the other scores of interest are posted to the right. In the NFL today both the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins are at home today with 1pm starts, the Packers play the Vikings while the Redskins face the Eagles. The Virginia basketball team opens there season up today with a game against Vermont. At the RC last night the Renegades lost again 4-3 to Columbus, the Gades fell behind 4-0 and were never able to recover. It was a very spirited game with several fisticuffs and fellow part time blogger George & Melody were in attendance. Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon will continue there battle today at Phoenix for the Nascar championship, I don't care which one wins because I really don't like either one of them. Dad says he is going to start putting up the Christmas tree today. MICKEY
If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.

Yes, chasing after kids, walking the dog and gardening do add up to calories burned, but if you truly want to reach weight loss and fitness goals, you need to regularly participate in a moderate to vigorous fitness routine.
