IT LOOKS LIKE VIRGINIA HAS A NEW FOOTBALL COACH, REDSKINS LOSE AGAIN

Well it looks like the University of Virginia has a new football coach and he he is very familiar with the program. The University has called a press conference for today at 1pm where it expected to announce that Mike London who has coached the University of Richmond the past 2 years as its new football coach. I think it is a good choice and looking at the message boards most people though he was the front runner. The Washington Redskins looked like they were in a good position to give the New Orleans Saints there first loss of the season yesterday before there kicker missed a short filed goal and then the defense allowed a big pass play in the games final 2 minutes that allowed the Saints to tie the game and eventually win it in overtime 33-30. The Packers have a big game tonight in Baltimore, if the Packers win tonight it could go along way in them making the playoffs this year. The Virginia basketball team will be in action tonight on the road at Auburn. The CH boys and girls basketball teams will both be in action tonight, the boys will be at home against Lee-Davis while the girls team will be at Clover Hill. My Pain index is up this morning because I am already thinking about having my tooth removed tomorrow. MICKEY

Twinkies. Any snack that’s been around for over 70 years can’t be all bad, right? Hostess produces half a billion (yes, billion) Twinkies a year, so someone is buying them – and presumably eating them. Four inches of enticing golden cake (or cake-like substance) filled with gobs of vanilla (or vanilla-like) creamy filling. What’s not to love? For starters, the long list of chemically ingredients that include high fructose corn syrup, polysorbate 60, yellow 5, red 40, and a host of other bizarre sounding goodies. Each little treat serves up 5 grams of fat (nearly half of which is saturated), 25 grams of carbs (of which over half is sugar), and a measly 1 gram of protein. Our feeling - you’re probably better off with a supersized cupcake that contains a few more ingredients found in nature.

Direction: Without even the smallest of goals, it is easy to feel as though we lack direction or are lost. Having goals focuses our energy, and enables us to work towards something we value.
