IT WAS A TOUGH NIGHT FOR THE COLONIALS

It was a tough night for the CHHS girls basketball team last night as they fell to the Midlothian Trojans 80-49. I have to say that Midlothian had a couple of giants on the team. The CH girls team will play at Trinity tonight. The Colonial Heights boys team will have it's home opener tonight against Atlee, the Colonials will enter the game at 0-2. It was a bit cool here in CH yesterday and the temperature should moderate a bit for the next few days into the lower 50's before it drops again later in the week. I think allot of people liked the photo of Al cooking yesterday it got allot of reaction. I have posted an old photo of me in tuxedo, I have the tux because a fellow blogger was about to get married, it wasn't me, Al, Keith or George and that should narrow it down to what fellow bloggers wedding that it was.

Dr. red pepper?
Peppers rank surprisingly high on the list of healing foods. For instance, hot chile peppers contain capsaicin, a compound that acts as an anticoagulant and may help prevent heart attacks and strokes caused by blood clots. A half-cup of chopped red bell peppers provides 141mg of vitamin C and 4,250 IU of vitamin A -- more than an adult's daily needs for both. And whether they're mellow and sweet or fiery hot, all peppers are all good sources of potentially cancer-fighting antioxidants, especially vitamin C.
