All those Brad Childress bashers out there should still be happy about the dismissal of the Vikings coach last fall. The social media crowd and stadium drunks got a coach fired less than 11 months after his team was within a play of the Super Bowl.
The Vikings may or may not win legislative approval for a new stadium this spring, but take comfort in knowing that the politicians, nationally and locally, can be counted on to put their interests aside and do the right thing for the public. (Don’t hurt yourself laughing!)
Perhaps by carelessly mentioning the IRS and politicians I have added to your misery index. A long time pal who lives in another frozen, snow covered state may have the ultimate cure:
A reckless diet.
He’s partying with Milk Duds. Multiple times a day he uses the famous candy as the center piece of a diet that could also include eggs, pancakes, hash browns, burgers, pizza and Pepsi. Wikipedia, by the way, describes Milk Duds as a product “historically enrobed with milk chocolate and currently enrobed with a confectionery coating.” That’s nice enrobing.
No mention of fruits and vegetables by my friend. If we can’t grow them for long periods of time why should we eat them?
So feel better by eating what you want and improve that attitude as spring (promise) approaches. Joe Mauer is signed long term. The Vikings haven’t backed up the moving vans to Winter Park. The University of Iowa was listed No.2 by Sports Illustrated in a story about college football programs with the most players having police records while the Gophers didn’t even crack the top 25.
Things could be worse. Gas costs less than $4.00 a gallon. Your insurance plan probably pays for mental health coverage. The ice will be off the lakes (at least the local ones) in time for the fishing opener.
Just like the teams tell us in their advertising, email and publicity messages: life is good…even in winter.
