Brett Favre's "Little Gunslinger", Tony Gwynn and Weight loss...

Brett Favre could not quite recapture his Monday Night Football Magic in the final NFL game of the week. He tossed 3 TD's but fumbled as many times and threw the game ending interception for a TD resulting in a celebration which featured much joy and gyration. The play was, again, indicative of the negative side of "The Gunslinger" thinking with his "Little Gunslinger" (ask Jenn Sterger for photos) and making key mistakes to lose games.

To have a pro speak to the consequences of chewing tobacco, especially one with the respect and pedigree Tony Gwynn has in the sport, many kids will see the dangers and stop chewing. Besides, to quote one girl on the topic of chomping the chaw, "Ewwww!".

For the dieters out there, and for those who should be, comes the tip of the day. By switching from 2% milk to skim milk, you save enough calories (mostly from fat) to lose 7 pounds about a year, depending on your milk consumption. If you eat cereal everyday, for example, that number could be as much as 15 pounds, just by switching to skim milk. It will still turn colors in your Trix, so make the switch and lose some weight. Also, stop eating the ENTIRE pizza and share a slice or two with a friend! That's just polite, chunky...

In Bohunk news, the Peak2Peak Mountain Bike Classic is this Saturday at the beautiful Crystal Mountain Resort, located just outside the bussling, sprawling metropolis of Thompsonville. If you would still like to sign up, go to active.com and search for the race. The event features food and drink from area vendors, including beer from the title sponsor, Right Brain Brewery. Wes and I will be riding two laps at a brisk but manageable pace on the 11.5 mile course.
