We will begin Appomattox League playoffs tonight at Prince George at 7pm, it is a single elimination tournament so if you want to keep playing you have to win. Well hopefully we will be able to get the AC fixed today, I don't know how many more days I will be able to stand without AC. I have tried to sleep in the new room the last few nights but I haven't slept very well at all in there and I am just tired, the heat is starting to takes it's toll on me. It is suppose to be very hot both today and tomorrow here in Colonial Heights as well. TS Cristobal has gone out to sea, it had very little effect on the OBX except causing some rough surf. However there is a new TS named Dolly which is heading for the Gulf of Mexico which could cause the price of oil to rise again because they may have shut down the oil platforms in the Gulf. I know have a blister on my middle right finger to go along with the water in my left ear and with the AC still out my PAIN index a gone up again this morning. DON'T FORGET TO CHECK THE NEW CHAT FEATURE AT THE TOP OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PAGE. MICKEY
Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm. It moves stones, it charms brutes. Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity, and truth accomplishes no victories without it.

Value in the doing
Behind every fortune is someone who has labored long into the night to make it real. Behind every important discovery is a person who often grew weary searching for it.
Behind the magnificent work of art is an artist who spent hour after hour, month after month toiling at tasks that were tedious and seemingly endless. Behind the beautiful, soaring music is a composer who carefully arranged each note, each pause, each crescendo into place.
Take heart. Your effort cannot help but pay off.
The fact is, your effort is the payoff. The fortune, the discovery, the work of art, and the music, as grand as they are, serve as mere tokens of the achievement.
The real achievement is in the achieving, and the real value is in the doing. Sincere, focused effort makes your life rich, even as you do it.
Make the effort and the reward is guaranteed. For the biggest reward is in the doing.
-- Ralph Marston

I don't see that anyone solved the mystery of the lucky dog - There was one important name missing from the "m/s" and that is Mary the co-host and wife of Mark. Knowing my brother as I do - I deduct Mary got the lucky dog!!!
Well if Maureen got it, then she would never know. She puts so much fixing on it, she would never know.
I know maureen has a hot dog with her salad. Her's was like a chicago dog, everything on it but the kitchen sink!
Lee is right- Chicago Dog is a good anology.
