VCU SURVIVES IN 2 OT

The VCU Rams needed 2 extra sessions last night to beat the Delaware Blue Hens last night at Delaware.  The Rams actually trailed in this game with 10 minutes to go by 8 points before rallying to win.  The Rams will now return for a big game with ODU on Saturday.  Well I threw about 300 or so pitches last night in the cage and my arm actually felt much better than it did on Monday, its still sore but not to bad.  Well we got a dusting of snow here in the Heights last night and I have to say thats the kind of snow I like now, once the sun comes up it will be all gone and the weather folks are calling for temps in the 60's next week.  Speaking of snow the Outer Banks is under a Winter Storm Warning today with 2-4 inches of snow expected.  Have a good day Mickey.  MICKEY

Friends. You might not think having a social network would count a much as diet and exercise when it comes to good health. But studies have found good buddies can protect against everything from memory loss to heart attacks to infectious diseases. Sydney Kling, a former nurse and teacher, can’t remember being ill in all her 75 years, and she credits this to the fact that she is constantly seeking out new friends. Sociability, she claims, increases self-esteem, which in turn, supports the immune system.

We all have a few failures under our belt. It's what makes us ready for the successes. Randy K. Milholland
