Four Degrees and Eighty Minutes

This morning I thought I would try the bike....the trip to school took from 6:11 to 7:30 - which is a new personal record. On the whole, I would say the experience is more nerve-wracking than it is worth. I find it hard to just relax and enjoy the challenge of it all. I don't know if I will bike home tonight or wait and go home on another day....

This weekend we have the second round of playoff games and I have some predictions. First, if the Cardinals gave up 45 points to the Packers, I don't see them beating the Saints (especially in New Orleans). Here is the tough one....the Cowboys have looked very solid the last two weeks. I think the Vikings have a better defense than the Eagles, but I am not sure that we are playing at the same level they are right now. I hate to say it, but I suspect the Cowboys have the edge here, even though we are at home in Minnesota.

On the other side, Indianapolis should beat the Ravens and the Chargers have the Jets to contend with. I am going to pick the Jets and the Colts to advance.

We shall see....
