A VERY COOL MORNING HERE IN CH, SOME HIGH SCHOOL GAMES TONIGHT

It is a very cool 58 degrees here in Colonial Heights and it is starting to feel like football weather. Speaking of football CH will have there final scrimmage tonight at Nottoway and the Crawford County Eagles will also scrimmage tonight on the road as well while the Petersburg opens up there season on the road at Halifax County. Down at the beach First Flight will be at Perquimans while Manteo travels over to Currituck. The Packers will try to get there offense on track tonight in Denver in NFL preseason action. The Nascar Sprint Cup & Natonwide Series are at the always entertaining Bristol Motor Speedway tonight & tomorrow night, I am sure there will be some tempers flaring this weekend. Keith will be heading back home from Huntsville later today after another grueling week of government work and he will be heading down to the OBX either later tonight or Saturday morning. My PAIN index has gone down some more this morning, mainly because it's Friday and I am feeling pretty good this morning. It looks like the remnants of TS Fay will be coming threw Knoxville, Georgia today and tomorrow and now there are saying we might get some of it's moisture by next Wednesday. MICKEY

Smile
Smiling is a great way to change your attitude, connect with people and give benefit to your body. Like relaxation, smiling can work to counteract the effects of stress. By forcing ourselves to smile, we "trick" our body into believing that everything is good, thereby reducing stress. Like a switch, smiling can actually change your mood. So put a smile on, even if you don't feel like it, and pretty soon you'll be smiling for real.
