This is my 100th post to this blog! Kind of a momentous occasion I think. So to celebrate, when I finish posting I'm going to go to kitchen, grab the purple wine glass that used to belong to Grandma Betty and I'm going to have a glass of diet Cheerwine as I soak in the tub. Queenie probably wishes I'd soak in the tub first. I just finished working out.
Today was my endurance day- there is a hill by my place and 3 x's a week I run up and down it 3 x's and then jog home-and to cool off I walk one circuit around the neighborhood. Then I come in and spend 12-15 mins doing kick boxing (using my punching bag) and I end it all with a 15 min. ab/butt work out! So now I'm ready to bathe and begin the relaxing part of my evening!
But, while I had a few things on my mind I wanted to share them. As most of us know by now Favre is now wearing a NY Jets green #4 jersey. As much as I LOVE the Packers, and I still do. But, I think the Packers' management handled this wrong from the beginning. When a man that is arguably the BEST QB ever, or in everyone's top 5, says that he wants to come back and play... you DON'T say "naw we are going to go with a young QB that on one of his 1st snaps in the NFL was injured and out for the season." That is just folly, it is foolish- and the BIBLE has a lot to say about fools. So, with that being said, I think that if Favre wants to play than he should, so I'm glad he went to the Jets (I like their coach better than Gruden of Tampa- the other team considered) and is going to play. As much as I want to see the Lombardi Trophy back in GB, I do think it would serve Ted Thompson and Mark Murphy right for the Packers to face the Jets in the Superbowl and for Favre and the Jets to win. That would be poetic justice and vindication for the game's biggest lesson, and would really close this whole un-retirement saga!
The other issue on my mind is the Olympics. The opening ceremonies don't even air for 24 more hours, but already that has been drama for the gymnastics world. On the men's side both Hamm twins had to withdraw due to insurmountable injuries. Injuries that likely closed their competitive careers as athletes. It is quite possible to see the twins as coaches- any school or gym would be blessed to have them. It is too bad that they couldn't compete. I now think that without them it is looking like gold is out of the picture. It was going to be a dog fight with those 2, but the team lost its 2 best gymnasts. One the women's side it has been quieter, but the spotlight is on Chelsie Memmel to see if the sprained ankle is going to be a factor. If you know anything about gymnastics you know that gymnasts compete with worse injuries than a silly sprained ankle, so I think she'll be fine, but only time will tell.
Have a blessed evening! Ciao!
