Chain Letter NO.3

Ken and Stacey arrived at the stable in what seemed like only a few seconds. Even though she was in pain, Stacey didn’t want that ride to end. Being there with him felt so right to her and the idea that it was actually happening still hadn’t settled in. Being concerned for Stacy, Ken carefully helped her off of the saddle and carried her to the hotel lobby. The woman at the front desk gave once quick glance at the two, then realized the seriousness of Stacy’s condition and rushed to their aid. Ken explained what had happened and asked if there was a doctor to be found. “Oh of course.”, replied the woman. “We have our own personal doctor here on the hotel site. If you could take her to the Western Wing, I’ll call one of the nurses over there and have them prepare things for your arrival.” Ken did exactly as he was directed and rushed her to the West Wing.
Just as the woman had said, the nurses had everything ready upon their arrival. “If you could just have her seated in this wheel-chair, we will take her back to see Dr. Huddly immediately.”, said one of the nurses. Ken gently placed her in the chair and watched as the nurse rushed her into one of the back rooms…

Chain Letter NO.2

Stacey had to make sure that she looked her best before going back out and facing Roberto. She fixed her blonde locks to make sure they looked perfect, checked her makeup, and made sure her outfit was without a single blemish. She walked out of the bathroom with a sense of purpose and an ease in her manner. As she walked by Roberto’s seat, she gave him a look and he returned with a glance of his own.”Yep, he noticed me”, she thought proudly to herself. She returned to her seat very content and much happier than before.

The rest of her flight went by fairly quick and they landed in Paris right on time. On her way off, she made eye contact with Roberto one last time, but now, she had to focus on the task at hand. She quickly recovered her luggage from the baggage claim area and found a taxi waiting near by. She hopped in and asked where to find a nice hotel. The man, puzzled by her question, began to speak in French.”Oh of course.”, she said to herself. She grabbed her French translator and then proceeded to say, ”Où puis-je trouver un bon hôtel?” The man’s face then lit up and he answered. “Oh je sais l'endroit parfait, ma petite dame.”, which means, “Oh, I know the perfect place, little lady.” Stacy became very excited as she was off on a new and thrilling adventure.

Chain Letter NO.1

Just in case you're wondering, those labeled "chain letter" are pieces that ive written for an ongoing chain letter that i and my family are doing. It will probably be difficult for you to understand the plot due to the fact that you are missing so many other letters, so dont be surprised if it doesnt make sense.



As Stacy was strolling along in this magical place known as Central Park, she ran into a tall, goofy looking man with blond hair and an elf costume on. The man exclaimed,”Hi, my name’s Buddy. I’m looking for an engine that belongs to Santa. He lost it while flying. Have you seen it anywhere?” Because she was deaf, Stacy could not hear what this ridiculous man was shouting at her. She gestured to her ears and softly said,”I can’t hear you.” Buddy immediately understood that she was deaf and decided that he should take her along with him. After explaining what he was looking for, they went tearing off through the park in search of Santa’s engine...

Hurricanes Breakdown

The end of the NHL season is quickly approaching, as there are only ten games remaining on the schedule for most teams. The Hurricanes, just as many other teams, are making a push for the playoffs in the East. Carolina has been dancing all year between the ninth spot and the eighth spot, as they sit in ninth currently and only one spot out of the playoffs. The Canes previously held that final spot, but only as of late have the yielded their position to the Buffalo Sabres. Carolina has not played well in the past ten games. At the trade deadline, the Canes made what appeared to be an emphasis on making the playoffs, as they brought back the aged veteran, Corey Stillman. Typically, such a move will bring forth a push from the team, but Carolina has yet to experience this. Unfortunately, I believe these woes will continue for the Canes and they will come up just short of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In all honesty, their play as of late is not deserving of the playoffs. I see the Buffalo Sabres and New York Rangers holding off the final two spots in the East, as they have shown they deserve a shot at Lord Stanley's Trophy.

Packers SuperBowl

This has been without a doubt, one of the greatest seasons in NFL history, and it is only fitting that the Lambardi Trophy comes back to Green Bay. The Packers defeated the Steelers in what almost became one of the greatest comebacks in SuperBowl history. The Pack jumped to a large lead early on and the game appeared all but over, but the Steelers came fighting back. Only did a failed fourth down conversion seal the deal for the Packers and thus bringing them their first of hopefully many more under the new quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.

Packers Postseason Breakdown 1.0

The game was tough and hard fought. It was without a doubt the best game of the week. As the Eagles were driving to take the lead in the last couple minutes of the game, Michael Vick through up a pass into the endzone for his receiver, Reily Cooper. Unfortunately for Phili, Cooper was not the man that came down with the ball. Defensive back Tramon Williams of the Packers leaped up and snatched the ball right before it was going to land in Cooper's hands, sealing the victory for his Green Bay Packers.

The Packers defense played extremely well against the most athletic player in the NFL, Michael Vick. Numerous blitzes and strategic coverage helped give the Packers a large advantage that no team was able to have all season against Vick and the speedy Eagles offense. Aaron Rodgers played efficient football and the play calling was done very well, having an equal balance of passing and running.

James Starks, rookie running back of the Packers, had a tremendous game as he has finally emerged as the number one guy for the Packers in the running game. This greatly helps the Packers offense as they have only been a passing team all season, making them a one-dimensional offense. With a running game now, the Packers are without a doubt one of the best offenses in the league and could be a serious competitor for the NFC Championship.

Being the lowest seed in the NFC, the Packers will play the number one Falcons at the Georgia Dome, arguably the hardest place to play in the NFL. The Packers played the Falcons there earlier this season in a close game in which Atlanta kicked a field goal as time expired to win it. I think that this game will be very close and could easily go either way. With the Packers playing so well though, I think they win this one on a game ending drive behind the arm of Aaron Rodgers.

Packers End of Regular Season Breakdown

With the help of the Eagles and Giants struggling, the Packers have made the playoffs, but truthfully, it was not the way they wanted to get in. They played their last three games with excellence as each one was a must win in order to get into the playoffs. They played the Giants, who were also competing for a playoff spot, and trounced them in a 45-17 win at Lambeau Field. They then went on to beat the divisional rival Bears in a close game at home, which clinched the playoff spot.

The Packers underwent numerous changes throughout the season at the running back position. Ryan Grant, the 1,000+ yard rusher for the past three years, had a season ending injury on the very first game of the season. The linebacker core and defensive line also went through major changes as injuries plagued the team all season. Despite all these injuries, the Packers had one of the best defenses this season and they slowly increased the running plays towards the end of the year.

The Packers will be facing the Eagles in the Wild-Card Playoff round next weak. The two teams played on opening day in a game that the Packers won somewhat easily, but the two teams have changed drastically since then, especially the Eagles at the quarterback position. I see the Eagles putting up a good fight at home, but I like the Packers in a close game.
