The Richmond Renegades will meet the Fayetteville FireAntz tonight at the RC, the Gades will be going for there 3rd straight win. There is no love loss between these two team and the game are usually pretty physical, the Gades however still will not have the services of there two tough guys Goody & Sicard. It was a tough night for both the Colonial Heights boys and girls basketball teams against Thomas Dale last night, the boys team played well but fell to the Knights 65-56 and the girls team fell 67-36. Next up for both teams will be Meadowbrook on Thursday for the girls and Friday for the boys team. Well all the Christmas decorations are back up in the attic for another year, dad finished taking all the stuff down yesterday. My AIP has been elevated to to my right hip hurting a bit this morning to go along with my foot still being pretty sore. Also I almost forgot to mention that the Redskins will be looking for a new coach as coach Joe Gibbs stepped down yesterday. MICKEY
I believe the first test of a truly great man is in his humility.

Health Tip: Low-Sodium Meals
Sodium (salt) is a contributing factor to high blood pressure, and too much in one's diet can be dangerous, especially for those with heart disease. Here are suggestions on how to prepare meals with less sodium, courtesy of the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute: * Avoid adding extra salt to your food when you eat it. * Reduce the amount of salt that you use when you cook. Use fresh herbs instead. * Don't salt the water used to boil rice or pasta. * Avoid using packets of sauce or seasoning. They are usually high in sodium. * Use fresh foods and ingredients when you can. Prepackaged or processed foods often contain a lot of sodium.
