Random New Year's Thoughts

• Happy New Year!
• The Chiefs backed in to the playoffs yesterday. They needed to win and have three other teams lose. Sure enough, against all odds, they pulled it off. Special thanks go the amazing imploding Broncos, the Cincinnati work-release program, and the Titans' Vince Young hype machine.
• We had the lock-in at church last night and things seemed to go really well. That doesn't mean I actually lasted very long. I ran out of gas at about 5am and was home looking for something healthy to eat an hour later. I've discovered that it's hard to do an all-night lock-in when you're a) 30, and b) on a diet from sugar-pop and junkfood.
  
• We watched Super Size Me today. It's a documentary where this guy does an experiment of eating nothing but McDonald's for 30 days. It almost kills him… literally, hurting his liver and heart and gaining about 25 pounds in thirty days. It took him fourteen months to undo the damage of one month of fast food.
  
• Elijah keeps running around and asking, "Idthit dunday or doosday?" It's Monday. Why? Do you have an appointment?
• So much for job security in the NFL. Denny Green of the Cardinals and Jim Mora of the Falcons were fired today. Both of these guys may not have had a fair shake though. When has anybody won with the Cardinals? And what is a coach supposed to do when the best player on your team (perhaps the best athlete in the NFL) is only the twentieth best QB? If any team is a coach-killer, it's Arizona (Oakland's a close second). If any QB is a coach killer, it's Mike Vick.
