LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL

I know there are allot of happy students and teachers hear in Colonial Heights with today being the beginning of the last week of school for the students. Although the teachers may have to go a couple of days next week once the students are gone there days are much easier. I don't think there is anything to the rumor that Donna might be teaching summer school this year, is there. Andrews LL team will be back in action again tonight at Ironbridge Park in another must win game for the Nationals, they did very well in there last must win game. Jeff Gordon won yesterdays rain shortened race at Pocono, it seems that rain has become an issue at just about very Nextel Cup race lately. I took the car down to the beach yesterday so I don't think you will see to much of mom the rest of the summer unless you go down to the beach. My AIP index has dropped a little bit but it might be on the rise by Tuesday, I road the bicycle at the beach and the effects of that probably won't hit me until later today, also my right hamstring is still very sore. It looks like the weather will be pretty good this week with highs in the low to mid 80's all week. MICKEY
