VIRGINIA TECH FALLS LATE, RED SOX TAKE 2-0 SERIES LEAD

The Virginia Tech Hokies controlled the game against Boston College until the final two minutes of the game when they were leading 10-0 before giving up 14 points in the final 2:11 of the game and giving fellow blogger Keith a nice birthday present. BC looked terrible all night and then out of no where the came to life and pulled off the win. The Boston Red Sox beat the Colorado Rockies last night 2-1 in a bit of pitches duel and by doing so now lead the World Series 2-0, the series now will head to Denver. The Colonial Heights Colonials will return home tonight when the Meadowbrook Monarchs come to town, the Monarchs must win to keep there playoff hope alive. Down in Georgia the Crawford County Eagles are aslo at home against Marion County, the Eagle will be trying to break a 4 game losing streak after winning there first 4 games. It looks like we are going to get some more rain today and tomorrow here in CH, there is a 90% chance today and a 80% chance Saturday. The Richmond Renegades ope up there regular season at home Saturday night against Jacksonville. MICKEY

It is very strange that the years teach us patience --- that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.

Exercise Doing Everyday Chores
Getting needed exercise can be as simple as performing a few household chores regularly.

Here are some suggestions, courtesy of HealthGuidance.org:

* Gardening -- Water plants with a watering can instead of a hose, and alternate carrying the can on each arm.
* Sweeping -- Clean not just your driveway, but offer to do your neighbors', as well as the sidewalks.
* Washing your car -- Use a bucket that you have to carry, not a hose.
* Cleaning and re-arranging -- Thoroughly clean out rooms in your home, carefully moving objects to clean every area.
* Walking or bike riding -- Leave the car home, if practical, to get to work or to run an errand.
