COLONIALS BACK IN ACTION TODAY



The Colonial Heights Colonials baseball team will be back in action today at 5pm when they Trinity Titans came to Shepherd Stadium for a 5pm contest. The Colonials will be looking to continue there offensive outburst that we have had in our first two games and get some good defense and pitching a come away with another victory. I understand that a couple of bloggers will be in attendance at todays game. It looks like it going to be another very nice day for baseball for baseball with temps in the low 70's before it turns cool for the weekend. The VCU basketball team beat Boston University 88-75 last night to advance to the finals CBI Tournament, the Rams will face St. Louis in a best of 3 series for the championship of the CBI. Well I am going to work early this morning so I can leave at 2pm for todays game. MICKEY

Find things off the beaten path. Rather than heading straight for the busiest area where all the tourists congregate, try asking locals for recommendations for entertainment, dining and other fun activities. Chances are you will find a more interesting and much cheaper alternative.

Don't be a clueless traveler. By taking the extra time to research the neighborhoods and events you want to experience, you will not be making potentially expensive mistakes--like being ripped off in public transportation, missing out on seasonal deals, or paying too much for services.

WHY NOT THINK?
It’s a little thing to do,
Just to think,
Anyone, no matter who,
Ought to think,
Take a little Time each day
From the minutes thrown away,
Spare it from your work or play,
Stop and think.
You will find that those who fail
Do not think.
Half the trouble that we see,
Trouble brewed for you and me
Probably would never be
If we’d think!
