Apparently setting goals that being more self-disciplined makes you less like likely to get Alzheimer's. My first goal not getting Alzheimer's. For some reason that seemed like a Norm MacDonald joke when he did the news on SNL.

Illini almost in the top 25 and rank higher in computer rankings? The Bears can't beat the Lions? The Cubs in the playoffs? Mayor Daley wearing a Cubs hat. Something seems off.
