TGIF

I don't about you but I am sure glad that it is Friday, it sure feels like it has been a long week for me. I don't think I am going to do much of anything this weekend but get some R & R. Fellow blogger Keith will be heading home today from his 2 week government trip to Detroit this afternoon. The CH girls soccer team fell to Matoaca last night 3-2, I will post the photos that AL took this afternoon. I have enclosed a link to the photos AL took at our last baseball game of the season below. The Nascar Sprint Cup Series will race at the Lowe's Motor Speedway the next 2 weekends, the week it will be the Sprint All-Star race which is non points event on the schedule. The Philadelphia Flyers fought of elimination last night beating Pittsburgh 4-2, now both the Eastern & Western Conference are 3 game to 1 with Detroit and Pittsburgh leading respectively. It is raining here in Colonial Heights again this morning however it is suppose to clear of for the weekend, but looking at the extended forecast for next week it looks like there is a chance of rain everyday next week. Also tonight the First Flight baseball team will travel to South Lenoir in the NC 2A baseball playoffs weather permitting. MICKEY

What we think or what we know or what we believe is, in the end, is of little
consequence. The only consequence is what we do.

A Day At A Game

Buying peanuts and cracker jacks
and not worrying if they ever get back
are words that you might hear,
in that baseball park
that is never dark
and has such energy in the air.

Programs here!
or souvenirs here!
is what you might here someone yell,
along with baseball hats
and baseball bats
there's so much they try to sell.

While watching the game you love
with your baseball glove
you just find yourself waiting there
for that home run hit
to where you sit
it's the perfect souvenir.

A day at the game
is never the same,
you'll always see something new,
so take a day
to get away
Americas favorite pastime waits for you.
