REDSKINS WIN, RENEGADES SHUTOUT AGAIN

The Washington Redskins picked up a much needed road victory yesterday in Seattle knocking off the Sewhawks 20-17.  The Skins offense still had trouble scoring once it got in the red zone and tried give the game away while trying run out the clock but win is a win.  Next week they will have to step it up a bit when the New York Giants visit FedEx Field.  The Green Bay Packers will play the New Orleans Saints tonight in Louisiana, the Packers must win to keep up with Minnesota & Chicago who both won yesterday in the NFC North.  The Richmond Renegades were shutout for the 2nd straight night, this time it was the Knoxville Ice Bears beating the Gades 4-0.  It is tough to win when you don't score at all, this team has very little offense and appear to be heading to the cellar of the SPHL.  My PAIN index is up again this morning after not sleeping well last night and playing full court basketball again.  My feet are quite sore this morning.  It does look like it is going to be about 10 degrees warmer each day this week than it was last week which is just fine with me.  MICKEY

What to Do with Leftovers
If you have lots of leftovers you may want to freeze them rather than trying to consume them all before they go bad. You can do this with breads, cookies and other baked goods as well as meats and cheeses. Also consider sharing some with those whose families were not with them during the holidays.

Individual Differences
Some people are just naturally morning people. They have no trouble exercising fist thing in the morning. Others don't get moving so quickly and are more likely to feel like exercising later in the day. If you have such an obvious preference it's pretty easy to decide what sort of exercise schedule you might stick with. The interesting thing is that research shows that no matter when you think you are better able to exercise, almost all of us are, in fact, physically stronger and have more endurance in the late afternoon.
