Memorial Day

I hope everyone has nice and safe Memorial Day and don't forget the meaning of this day. Did anybody watch the race "I mean demo derby" last night? After all the wrecks and 600 miles Jimmy Johnson has to win the race, I sure was rooting B Labonte to win that race. Dale Jr and Brian Vickers sure didn't make any friends out there last night with there actions last night, I just don't know what either of them were thinking. I left the beach early this morning, I wanted to beat the traffic and had a few things aroun here to do. Al, Me Ma Ruth said that you were extremely upset that I said you may have one of her lawn mowers, she said that you don't like being accused of things that you haven't done and you were very upset about it.

Colonials Season Comes To An End

The CH Colonials season came to an end wednesday night with a 13-o loss to the Prince George Royals. The Colonials finished the season 12-9 and overall it was a pretty good season. We had some good victories and streaks where we played very well but we had some games were we just got blown. It seemed like when we were playing well we would win by a large margin and we weren't playing well would would lose by the same margin. Hopefully dad will decide to come back for another season because I think we will be better next season. Well CH schools will be out after today for Memorial Day and the weather looks like it will be pretty good for a change this weekend, I hope everbody has a good Memorial Day. MICKEY

Anna

The Birthday Girl

Weather Not Looking Good

Well the weather doesn't look like it is going to cooperate early this week for baseball. There is 50% chance of rain today, tonight, and tuesday. Todays temp is suppose to be in the low 70's but on tuesday it is only going to be in the mid 60's, and that is cold for this time of year. The weatherman have been wrong before so lets hope there wrong again this time. Yesterday I kept pretty busy, I went out to eat with Me Ma Ruth at lunchtime, and in the evening went to Anna's birthday party-cookout. MICKEY

Looks Like A Nice Day In The Heights

It looks like it is going to be a nice day here in CH, the sun is out and the temp is suppose to get to around 80. I watched the all-star race last night and the old man Mark Martin won it after half the the field was taken out in a wreck. There was allot of fingerpointing going on after the wreck, but it did look like Stewart got into Nemecheck and he the got into Harvick triggering the big one. E Sadler came in second and I wish he would have won the thing since he is from VA. Don't forget the CH Colonials play in the central district tournament tuesday at 5pm against the PG Royals at the Petersbur Sports Complex. There was another fire yesterday in CH on Wellington Rd, the fire was contained to the bedroom. MICKEY

Mataoca Pounds Colonials 12-2

The Mataoca Warriors pounded CH 12-2 in central district action thursday, CH was never in the game. It seems every time we have game that means something we play about as bad as we can. The Coloinals only had two hits in the game, the only real highlight of the game was a triple by Brett Draper. The Colonials next game is tuesday at Thomas Dale, TD lost to Dinwiddie thursday. The Colonials are now in third place in the district tied with Dinwiddie. I am heading to the beach this weekend either tonight or saturday morning. MICKEY

Three Alarm Fire In CH

There was a three alarm fire in CH today at the corner of Hamilton and the Blvd. The call came in around noon and when units arrived they had heavy fire and smoke showing. The fire was Yongs Hair Salon and the apartments above this business. Fire units from CH, Chesterfield, Petersburg, and FT Lee battles the blaze for hours. The blaze took about two hours to bring under control, and they did a very good job in keeping the fire to spreading to the building next door which was very close two the structure that was on fire. Les was on seen for several with the police deprtment helping with traffic control. No one was seriously injured in the fire, one firfighter suffered a broken finger though. The temp was very warm today here and they were probably lucky that no firefighters suffered heat exhastion with magnitude of the fire. MICKEY

Actually it started last night when we lost to Dinwiddie in extra innings, then I had dream that I had two flat tires on my truck think goodness that was just a dream, then I got up this morning and the internet was out, then it rained all day and was cold for May, and then baseball practice was rained out. Hopefully saturday will be a better day and next will be better for the CH baseball team also. MICKEY

Colonials Lose A Heartbreaker 4-1

The CH Colonials lost a heartbreaker in the bottom of the ninth inning 4-1 to Dinwiddie on a 3run HR. The Colonials played good defense all night turning several double plays but the bats just didn't come to life. Nathan Anger pitched all 9 inning in the loss.

It Was A Nice Day For Baseball

A good crowd showed up for the CH and PG game, hopefully the outcome will be better next game. MICKEY

Another Couple Of Cold Spring Days

I wish the weather would warm up a little more, it should be warmer than the low 60's this time of year, and its been getting down in the upper 40's at night and thats to cold for this time of year. It does look like it is going to get closer to the 80's during the weekend though, I guess on the bright side it hasn't rained out any ball games lately. It was a bad day for both CH Colonails and the TD knights tuesday with the Colonials losing 8-2 to Prince George and TD losing 13-0 to Hopewell, hopefully thursday will be better for both teams, I haven't heard anything about how the JV Colonials did. MICKEY

Royals Pound Colonials 8-2

I don't there is nothing positive to say about this game. We just didn't show up for the biggest game of the year so far. PG hit 3 HR's and there pitchers kept CH off balance most of the afternoon. When the Colonials had there scoring chances we were just unable to get the job done. The only thing I can say is we just have to put this game behind us and get ready for Dinwiddie thursday night, hopefully we will show for that one. MICKEY

Baseball Update

The CH Colonials have a first place matchup with the PG Royals today at Shepherd Stadium at 4:30pm. The TD Knights play at Hopewell at 5pm, and Lee and the JV Colonials travel to PG. Yesterday the TD Knights lost 14-10 to L.C. Bird in a non didtrict matchup. Andrews Little League team won last night and Andrew went 2-3 and he said he had 2RBI also. Lee is now officially back with us, so I am sure there will be some comments coming from him. MICKEY

Rainy Morning In Va And Nc

I has been a very rainy morning here in CH and it appears to have been the same in KDH. I was looking at some rain gauges on the internet and here in CH and KDH it looks like there was about 0.75 inches of rain in both places since midnight. It looks like the rain is about over here in CH now as the son is just starting to come thru the clouds a bit, however at the beach it still looks cloudy. I think I am going to watch the race today and keep up with the Reds and Braves during the commercial breaks. I am going out to lunch with Me Ma Ruth first though. MICKEY
