BOSTON HEADING TO WORLD SERIES, REDSKINS WIN



The Boston Red Sox hammered the Cleveland Indians last night in game 7 of the AL championship series 11-2 and now move on to play the Colorado Rockies in World Series starting later this week. The Indians just collapsed after building a 3-1 series lead. The Washington Redskins didn't play very well yesterday but they played well enough to beat the Cardinals 21-19, the Skins were just happy to get the win yesterday, the Skins now have to travel to New England next week. Jimmy Johnson won yesterdays cautioned filled race at Martinsville holding of Ryan Newman for the win. Jeff Gordon still leads the point standings by 53 over Jimmy Johnson and 115 over Clint Bowyer. I made it back from the beach last nigh around 6:40 and I have to say that yesterday was a pretty long day and I was a bit tired last night. The weather was very nice at the beach yesterday. Don't forget that the water restrictions go in affect today in Colonial Heights. MICKEY

Today is National Pumpkin Slush Day.
• Today is Eat a Pretzel Day.

Stronger tomorrow
You can hide things about yourself from just about anyone, but you can't really hide them from yourself. You know what you're up to, and that's important. Because the person you are to become tomorrow is always watching the person you are today.

How can you live this day so that your future self will find strength and inspiration? What can you do that will make the person you'll be tomorrow proud to have been the person you are today?

You know who you are right now, you know what you're doing, what your motivations are, what kind of attitude you maintain. You know and control the real you. Let the person you are today push you forward, positively into the future. Soon you'll look back on today, and what you see can either give you strength or bring you regret. Choose your actions so that what you do today will truly make you stronger tomorrow.
