IT'S ALREADY WEDNESDAY

I cannot believe that it is already Wednesday, this week seems to be flying by and before you know it Christmas will be here. I hope everybody has started there Christmas shopping. It is also homecoming week here in Colonial Heights this week with the highlight of the week being the homecoming football game against Prince George on Friday night. The Cardinals won game 5 last night 4-2 and now lead the series over the Mets 3-2 and they will play game 6 tonight in New York. The Tigers are at home resting for the eventual winner of the NL series. I do understand that two fellow bloggers made the trip to the OBX yesterday but are now back at home. I have posted an old photo of me all dressed up, well it's not that but I did still have a bit hair in this photo. Also it's good to see that Scott's back. MICKEY

I don't think of the past. The only thing that matters is the everlasting present.
