VIRGINIA CRUSHES MARYLAND, CUBS ELIMINATED




Where in the world has that Virginia Cavalier football team been all year? I don't know how a team could look so bad the 1st 4 weeks of the season and come out there and look so good last night. The offense and the defense just totally dominated Maryland. Maybe Keith & Andrew new what there were doing when they picked the Cavs to win in this week pick em contest, I just might take the Cavs next week myself when the East Carolina comes to town. In the MLB playoffs yesterday the Brewers stayed alive with a 4-1 victory over the Phillies and the Dodgers finished off the Cubs with a 3-1 win and completed the sweep 3-0. It has now been 100 years since the Cubs have won a World Series. In the NFL today the Redskins have another tough game when they travel up I-95 to the city brotherly love to face the Eagles and Packers will try to get back on track when Falcons come to town. The big problem for the Packers today is who is going to play QB, Rogers is a game time decision and both the backups are rookies. The Packers wouldn't be in this mess if they wouldn't have let Brett Favere go. Travis Kvapil captured his 1st career pole for todays race at Talledega, Casey Mears will start along side of him on the front row. It looks like next Sunday I will be at the Virginia Motorsports Park in Dinwiddie parking cars at the NHRA drag racing event for the CHHS Sports Backers, I think my PAIN index will start rising by midweek just thinking about parking cars on Sunday. Let's just say yesterdays fall baseball games at Prince George just didn't go to well, in two games we scored 0 runs. MICKEY

Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.

Sliding Furniture
This is a tip for sliding furniture across floors that you don't wish to damage. Save cardboard milk cartons and cut the top of off four of them. Then slip a milk carton bottom under each leg of the furniture.

A quite evening with friends is the best tonic for a long day.

New research from Brunel University in London reveals what many runners have known for years: Music can help you run longer. Reseacher Dr. Costas Karageorghis found that, when carefully selected according to scientific principles, music can enhance endurance by 15% and improve the "feeling states" of exercisers, helping them to derive much greater pleasure from exercise. The exercisers remained positive even when working out at a very high intensity and close to physical exhaustion.
