I TALKED TO GEORGE LAST NIGHT, INDIANS 1 WIN AWAY FROM WORLD SERIES



I talked to part time blogger George last night and he told be to tell everybody hello for him. He told me he and Melody have been extremely busy with work and Lexi. He said he does get on the internet and check Mickey's Place out every now and then but he is still on dial up right and everything is very slow. He did say he couldn't wait for JR to join Hendrick Motorsports and his teammates Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson. The Richmond Renegades training camp continued at the Richmond Coliseum yesterday and Gades did make there 1st cut releasing 3 players, they will be home for a pre-season Saturday night at the RC. The Cleveland Indians are just 1 win away from joining Colorado in the World Series with last nights 7-3 victory over the Red Sox. Keith how are things going in Detroit, it looks like the weather has been pretty mild at least. MICKEY

You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live long enough to make them all yourself.
Sam Levenson

1919 - The Radio Corporation of America (RCA) was formed. The company became a giant in electronics, especially radios and TVs. It would later own its own TV network (NBC) and other broadcast interests.
1933 - Dr. Albert Einstein moved to Princeton, NJ, after arriving in the United States from his troubled homeland of Germany.
1945 - Actress Ava Gardner made news. She married bandleader Artie Shaw.
1985 - Intel introduced the 32-bit 80386 microcomputer chip. It was the first Intel/*86 chip to handle 32-bit data sets. It ran at ‘clock speeds’ of up to 33 MHz -- blazingly fast in 1985.

Aggressively positive
Seize the opportunities to be helpful and considerate. Walk away from the opportunities to be hurtful and mean. There will be a time the good and kind things you do will come back to you. There will be a time when the needlessly cruel things you do will come back to you. Which would you rather have coming back?

No one gains anything when you seek to hurt another. In fact, everyone loses. You cannot lift yourself up by pushing someone else down. If someone hurts you, the best response is not to hurt them in return. That only perpetuates a continuing downward spiral. The best response is to break the pattern, to end the hurt, to move actively and aggressively forward.

There's no need to let others take advantage of you. Be firm, yet don't be cruel. Look for ways to turn the situation in a positive direction. Those ways are there. Just imagine what can happen when you find them and follow them.
