Yesterday my appointment went well, but I got home too late and too tired to research and write.  Today I had a lot of catching up to do.  I\u2019m current with replies.  Tomorrow my volunteer day in prison starts later than normal, so I hope to get the blog up before I leave, but may not make it.<\/font><\/p>\n

Yesterday\u2019s took me 4:04 (average 5:14).  To do it, click here<\/a>.  Today\u2019s took me 4:48 (average 6:00).  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

From Washington Post<\/a>: <\/font>The Peyton Manning sweepstakes<\/a> came to an end Monday when the free agent quarterback informed the NFL teams pursuing him that he intended to sign with the Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n

The resolution of where Manning, one of the most high-profile free agents in pro football history, will play next immediately rippled through the ranks of NFL quarterbacks. The Broncos seem intent on trading quarterback Tim Tebow<\/a> and speculation immediately focused on the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars.  [apparently he\u2019s going to the Jets]<\/p>\n
