Well, Mr. Cloudy is not an optimist, but the onset of fall usually brings out the Packers fan from within, and Packers fan always holds out some hope. Loyalty is never the question. Hope waxes and wanes. While Favre is here, hope has been waxing, and of course the games are usually entertaining. This year, I cannot confess to a great deal of hope. There is the hope for the playoffs, but the defense looks weak and that will press Favre to take chances, and naturally some chances win the game and some lose. So, I'm hoping for 10-6, but I'll be listening over the internet and watching the games that are national win or lose.
