The NCAA baseball tournament starts today across the country at 16 different sites. The Virginia baseball team plays UCLA tonight at 7pm on ESPNU. A few other games that I will be following has Georgia playing Lipscomb, East Carolina vs Alabama and James Madison vs NC State. In the Central Region baseball playoffs it will be Cosby vs James River in the finals, both teams are from the Dominion District and that district has won the AAA championship the past two years. The Nascar Sprint Cup Series is at Dover this weekend, Dover is a bit like Bristol there are not to many single car accidents there because of the high banking which makes it a self cleaning track. It's going to feel a bit like summer this weekend here in CH this weekend today it is going to be in the upper 80's and Saturday & Sunday as well and just think summer doesn't start until late June. This week has really flown by because it was a short work week which was fine with me. My PAIN index is on the rise a bit because my allergies have started to bother me again the last few days, hopefully the pollen will start to diminish the next few weeks. Have a nice weekend. MICKEY
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. - Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
