IT'S FRIDAY AGAIN

It's always good when it's Friday but it's even better when it's Friday on a short work week, if I work to many more of these short weeks I am really going to feel like a work for the government. I think allot of fellow bloggers must still be on Christmas break, there sure haven't been allot of comments this week. The Richmond Renegades will be back in action tonight at the RC against the Fayetteville FireAntz, it will also be Trevor Senn night and the will retire his #25 jersey, maybe they can talk him into playing a few more games, he was pretty tough in his day. Also Renegades forward Mat Goody was suspended for 12 games by the SPHL for his actions in Fayetteville on Christmas day, this mornings paper said he might retire. The Texas Longhorns beat Arizona State last night 52-34 in the only college football game of the day yesterday, there will be three more bowl games today and two of those will have ACC teams playing in them. My foot is a little sore this morning and it might be raining again by this afternoon so my AIP has been elevated. Mom is still under the weather a bit, her temp is still not back to normal and she still is not feeling to good. MICKEY

Be calm in arguing; for fierceness makes error a fault, and truth discourtesy.

PUN OF THE DAY
