Levy Trail 5K/DFL

I walked the Levy Trail 5K through a RealFeel® of 33°F this morning in 47:44 and went three miles in 46:21.
The Democrat Football League playoff semifinal game between the Green Bay Packers and the Complete Sellouts began last night. The Sellouts had Tampa Bay's defense, which surrendered 31 points to St. Louis and consequently netted the Sellouts one measly point. Things started well for the Packers, who are approximately 15-point underdogs.

Paragraph(s) of the day from A Different Closet
Chapter 1

It was always easy for Keith Ingram to isolate the first hint of his imminent catastrophe, which came on a day one of his many stories critical of St. Louis’s professional football team was published in the Post-Dispatch. The story focused on the team’s porous defense and appeared on the Wednesday before the twelfth game of the 1985 season. Keith suspected it would anger at least a few of the players, but his only true fear involved a perpetually irate defensive back named A.J. Carmichael. He found his concern justified when he walked into the St. Louis locker room that afternoon and heard Carmichael say to no one in particular, “I’d like to know who lets these fags come in here.”
