If you are looking for something new to help you in a new year's quest towards better health, then come in and try some of the Chocolite protein bars. These great tasting, as close to a candy bar as I have ever had, bars are only one point for Weight Watchers®. With 9 grams of protein per bar, these are an excellent option for in between meals or before a work out.
As I was driving through the neighborhoods this morning on the way to get my vehicle registration updated, I noticed a number of Christmas trees out on the curbs awaiting pick-up. If you happen to have a natural tree awaiting disposal at your home, try recycling it instead. You can get some mulch for your home landscaping in return.

LSU beat Ohio State for the BCS national championship last night in a game that wasn't even that close. I don't have much love for LSU, but I do have a fair amount of dislike for the Big 10. The results of the game pleased me. However, a plus one game would have made for a much better ending. Perhaps the conferences and athletic directors can figure it out this year and put together a partial fix for this broken system. I won't hold my breath.
(Here are the answers to yesterday's puzzler:
At the drop of a hat.
Put your best foot forward.
Get in on the ground floor.
Go the extra mile.)
