The Boston Red Sox beat the Colorado Rockies last night 4-3 and sweeping the Rockies 4-0, the Rockies were the hottest team in baseball entering the World Series, the Red Sox simply had to much for the Rockies. The Washington Redskins were embarrassed yesterday at New England losing to the Patriots 52-7, it was a total mismatch in every aspect of the game. Tonight the Packers will travel to Denver to meet up with the Broncos. In high school football action tonight the Colonial Heights Colonials will be at home against Meadowbrook and Petersburg will be at Thomas Dale. Jimmy Johnson held of Carl Edwards for the victory in Atlanta yesterday, with the win Johnson is just 9 points behind Jeff Gordon for the championship, Clint Bowyer is 3rd but he is now 111 points behind. It is the coldest morning of the fall here in Colonial Heights, it is a cool 37 this morning but tomorrow it is suppose to be around 30, BRRRR. MICKEY

Make the first time count
If you only put half the necessary effort into a task, you'll eventually need to do it again, and perhaps again. Does that make any sense? Of course not. If you really want to save yourself time and effort, make every effort your very best effort. When something must be done, work on it with the objective of getting it right the first time.
You likely won't get it perfect. What's important is that you make your first effort count as much as possible. Don't depend on fixing it later. Do what's necessary to get it right the first time around. Then, instead of spending time fixing it, you can move on to something else.
You're spending your precious time and effort. Make it count. Rather than doing the very minimum, do the very most. Rather than marking time, rather than just getting through it, use your time to accomplish something of value. The extra effort and attention you put into getting it right the first time will be returned many times over.

i'm going out on a limb, i think jeff gordon will win the championship! or maybe jimmy johnson!
You are not on a limb Al ,you are hugging the the tree trunk with that prediction......At least the Redskins were totally outmatched, the cavaliers were embarassed.Reminds me of how the Holly Berries outmatched the Wellington Dukes in wiffle ball before Mark embarassingly pulled his team off the field following the famous heine ball incident.
