GEORGIA CRUSHES HAWAII, VIRGINIA BLOWS IT

The Georgia Bulldogs crushed the Hawaii Rainbows last night 41-10 last night in the Sugar Bowl leaving to doubt that Hawaii probably really didn't belong in a BCS bowl game. The Bulldogs dominated every aspect of the game against Hawaii. Virginia on the other hand found away to lose a game that they should have won, leading by 14 late in the 4th quarter before a monumental collapse. I have to say that never felt comfortable with the lead UVA had because of just what happened, the Cavs are just to inconsistent. It's going to be cold here in Colonial Heights the next couple of days, today it's suppose to be around 41 and tomorrow its not even going to get out of the 30's, however by early next week it is suppose to be back in the lower 60's for a few days. My foot is about the same this morning it is still pretty swollen in the great toe area, the pain isn't to bad though. I have been reading several articles on the WWW the last few days and it looks like that I am going to have to change allot of the things I eat which can cause my uric acid levels to rise and thats going to be hard to do. There is a part time blogger with a birthday Thursday stay tuned to see who it is. MICKEY

Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters.

Fitness Tip
Wear your bucket o’ brains. If you’re going to go cycling, get a helmet in the smallest size that’s comfortable and wear it every time you ride. Adults are twice as likely to die of head injuries then kids, because kids wear them and adults don’t.
