Thursday, the 19th day of January, 2012

...and then there were four. Rick Perry is announcing, as I write this, he is dropping out of the GOP presidential race. Gingrich, Paul, Santorum & Romney still in; Perry will endorse Gingrich.

...and Florida is not alone anymore in election embarrassments: Iowa just came out saying that, after recounting, Santorum was the winner there a couple of weeks ago, although 8 precincts still could not be certified... If precincts could not be certified, how can you declare a winner, either earlier or now, without disenfranchising voters? Oh well, that's a problem for somebody else to find answers to...

The Tebow/Broncos dream died, as expected, at the hand of the stinkin' Patriots; no contest. The Saints and 49ers had one of the most intense 4 minutes in pro-football in a long time, with the 49ers scoring last and most. The Ravens and Texans (yawn!) played and I don't remember who won - makes no difference to me. And then there was Eli, the Dragon Slayer, who made the Packers look exactly what they are: a grossly overrated bunch!

Around here, there seems to be a nasty strain of Pneumonia-causing bacteria that has put already several people in the hospital... And, as a matter of facts, what started with me as little scratchy throat on Tuesday has now developed into a full fledged cold, to the point that I could not attend a meeting in Chattanooga or go a lunch at the Chamber of Commerce today... I'm hoping, and fighting so, it doesn't go beyond a cold...

Although right now is 37 and partially clouded, the weather continues to be exceptionally mild... It has rained several times, sometimes strong, but no snow...

Not feeling too hot... That's all for now...

Some time ago, Aristotle said: "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit"

Stay practicing, my friends...

Had that 2 weeks ago. Lasts about 5 days, then you just don't have enough energy. Rest, rest, rest and drink (water), drink, drink. Take care, feel better.
