VIRGINIA WINS AGAIN, NOW TIED FOR 1ST PLACE

The Virginia Cavalier baseball team beat Duke last night 12-3 in Durham and with N.C. State's win over Georgia Tech the Cavs are now in a 3 way tie for 1st place in the Coastal Division of the ACC with Georgia Tech & Miami. I am going to watch Andrew's LL game this morning at Ironbridge Park, I understand that fellow bloggers Al, Louise, & Donna will be going to watch Jacob's LL game in West Virginia. I talked to Scott last night and he came home from the hospital on Thursday and they gave a few medicines to take for a while. They told him his good cholesterol was a bit low but besides that they don't really no what caused his problem but he was glad to be out of the hospital. Well you could tell it was race weekend down at Wal-Mart this morning, there were allot of new face down there this morning thats for sure. MICKEY

Do it for 5 minutes. Sometimes the sheer magnitude of a project keeps us from getting started. Take the most manageable bite possible, and spend 5 minutes going through a junk drawer, scribbling an idea for a novel, or looking for a new job.

Start walking. If you don't live somewhere where you can start walking instead of driving, make your lunch break a time to pop out and walk. If there's no interesting scenery, load up your iPod with great podcasts.

If you can’t excell with talent, triumph with effort. -Dave Weinbaum
