IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY WARM THE NEXT TWO DAYS


Is it May or January, it is going to be in the low 70's today and mid to upper 70's on Saturday. I guess you can't ask it to be much warmer than that in January, I'm not complaining about it, I like it warm. The CH girls basketball team beat Hopewell last night 61-41, the Colonials are now 6-5 overall and 2-3 in the CD, they will play at Powhatan tonight. The CH boys team will be at home tonight against Hopewell. The Richmond Renegades blew a three goal lead last night and lost to Columbus 4-3 in OT, they did a have bit of old fashion hockey though in the game when two goalies got into fight. The Renegades will play in Huntsville tonight. The SPHL is down to 7 teams again with the Florida Seals folding yesterday, apparently they have been locked out of the arena they play in a lease dispute. I sure like these short work weeks. MICKEY

Meltdown meditation from Miavita Fitness
Everything's coming at you at once. Don't explode -- try a little yoga trick that can calm you down in an instant. Place one hand on your belly and breathe deep; exhale slowly. Relax your shoulders. As you breathe, gently push your belly out so your hand rises as you inhale and falls as you exhale.
