COLONIALS HOME AGAIN TODAY, RENEGADES WIN

The Colonial Heights Colonials baseball team will be home again this afternoon when the Maggie Walker GS Green Dragons come to town. It looks like it is going to be very windy this afternoon with temps in the low 60's so you might need to bring a jacket with you to the Shep, game time is 5pm. The CH girls soccer team will also be at home against MWGS while the softball team travels to the Richmond to play the MWGS. The Richmond Renegades picked up a big win last night beating the Fayetteville FireAntz 3-2, the Gades fell by behind 2-0 before storming back to pick up a 3-3 victory. The Gades now lead the FireAntz by 3 points in the standings 2 games remaining. Well I thought I had a cold but now I think it is the pollen in the air causing my problems, after last nights rain you could see the pollen lining the gutters, I must have sneezed a 100 times yesterday. Well I hope to see some of you fellow bloggers at the baseball game today. MICKEY

Bad ballplayers make good managers, not the other way around. All I can do is help them be as good as they are.

LEADERSHIP TIP, from Joe Farcht
Living in The Moment: How much time do you spend thinking about the past, daydreaming of the future, watching meaningless TV or playing mindless games? That is not the way to make the best use of each moment in your life. Concentrating on what you are doing in each moment creates positive outcomes and gives you the greatest results, happiness, and joy.
