APPOMATTOX LEAGUE FINALS TONIGHT, IT'S FRIDAY


Well tonight at 7pm we will play in the Appomattox League Finals against the Matoaca Red team at Prince George. Hopefully both team will have enough players to play, between vacations and several AAU tournaments both teams are going to be strapped for players. Well I sure am glad that it is Friday, this weeks has dragged out a bit and I am tired. The Nascar Sprint Cup Series will be racing at the Brickyard this weekend, hopefully Goodyear has solved the tire problems which plagued last years race. Last night fellow blogger Lee stopped by for a visit to give us some of his knowledge, Lee is working in getting his college apartment ready. It won't be to long before college starts back up, speaking of starting up Scottie goes back to high school next Friday down in Georgia. MICKEY

Don't be First or Last
Admittedly, I'm not often at my best first thing in the morning. It takes me some time to get warmed up and focused on the task at hand. Of the 12 barbers and stylists in my shop, about half are just like me. Such is the case, I try to schedule haircuts with a higher degree of difficulty later in the day. On the flip side, a stylist can often be tired after eight hours of standing behind the chair and will have more difficulty focusing at the end of the day.

My advice? Make an appointment in the middle of the day. This is also a good idea because many salons are slower and your stylist will likely have more time to spend with you. Finally, never attempt to "squeeze in" at the end of the day. Showing up five minutes before a salon closes will almost always guarantee a rush job. Remember, barbers and stylists enjoy leaving work on time, too.
