HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAUREEN

Well today is former blogger Maureen's birthday so Happy Birthday Maureen and Maureen is spending her birthday at the beach. I hope the weather improves at the beach today it looks like there was some rain on the OBX yesterday. It looks like the weather here in CH will be very nice the next three days with temps in the low 90's and its going to be sunny with low humidity as well. Kevin Harvick won yesterdays Busch race at New Hampshire holding off Carl Edwards for the win. Dave Blaney will lead the field to the green today at New Hampshire in the Nextel Cup race. Dario Franchetti won last nights IRL race at Richmond, Franchetti ran away with the race leading all but 9 laps of the race. It's good to see Scott back on Mickey's Place, I thought maybe he pulled a Gary Fox. MICKEY

A whole stack of memories never equal one little hope.

FITNESS TIP
Beat the clock
By making physical activity a natural part of your day, you get all the benefits of exercise -- in a fraction of the time. Walk to an appointment. Take the stairs. Scrub the floor or your car. Leading an active life gives you many of the same benefits as structured exercise, and you don't have to "make time" to do it.
