WORLD SERIES STARTS TONIGHT

The World Series starts tonight in Boston when the Colorado Rockies visit for game 1 of the series. The Rockies enter tonights game winners of 21 of there last 22 games and I will be rooting for the Rockies even though they are heavy underdogs. I did go to the volleyball games last night and it was a clean sweep for the Colonials by girls & boys volleyball teams of Matoaca, the Colonial boys team finished in 2nd place and the girls team finished tied for 4th in the CD. The district tournament starts next week. It does really look like we are going to get some rain today now, there is a 70% chance now. My AIP is on the rise today because I have a bit of a stiff neck, I think I just slept on it wrong. There is another fellow blogger with a birthday tomorrow stay tuned to see who it is. The electrician did com by yesterday and has started to wire both sheds, hopefully he can finish up today before the rains come. MICKEY
