Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

So...here I am sitting at home after church watching the Packers play the Vi-queens. Favre just threw his 2nd touchdown of the day, putting the Pack up 27-0. I am finally getting to the point of being able to relax and enjoy the game. "This could be a decent game after all," I thought to myself. After all, there is nothing better than a good ol' fashioned blowout. Then what? The blasted FOX network pulls the game, and switches over to the Eagle vs. the Redskins. Hello?? 27-0 is the mark of a good Packer game, how dare they? Plus every pass Favre throws is part of living history. Who do the Redskins have? Chris Cooley? I blew off some steam by taking my nap early in protest.

Great pic. With the facial hair I think of Quentin Cassidy...

Thanks for grabbing my shirt Quentin. I think you look more like the great Finn Seppo Kaitainen. He had range from the mile to the marathon.

Paul, thanks for you note about my BQ. You guys that run at the speed that you do are amazing. Enjoy it every year while you are young enough. You have many exciting years of running ahead of you.

Later, Paul I

BTW my friends said they saw you a ton of times at the trials.... "Yeah, we saw that petersen guy you know. Man, he was flying."

Paul,

maybe fox figured that some of the teams that won't win the superbowl should get some air time. or maybe they thought the fight for highly prized third in the NFC east would be excitingly worth your time.

Either way, they were wrong and should be revoked their broadcasting priveldges for at least a week, forced to play packers highlight reels, fined a minimum of 200,000 dollars and/or be forced to publicly apologize while wearing a cheesehead.
