A SAD DAY IN GREEN BAY, DUKE AT VIRGINIA

Well yesterday proved to be a very sad day in Green Bay with Brett Favre retiring from the NFL, citing he was just plain tired. Next season could be a very long Packers now because they don't have a proven QB to go along with a very good team. The Duke Blue Devils will visit the JPJ Arena tonight, the Cavs have been playing pretty well lately and I think they might be able to pull the upset tonight. The Virginia baseball team was washed out at VMI yesterday, they will make up the game at a later date. Well we got a pretty good storm here in Colonial Heights last night, the wind and heavy rain woke me up and I even heard a rumble of thunder. Well my arm wasn't hurting as bad as I thought was going to yesterday at practice so I did throw a bit of BP before being relieved by dad, my right shoulder is pretty sore though. Also the water I had in my right ear has gone away so I can hear pretty good again. It looks like Hillary is making a late run for Democratic nomination for President. MICKEY

HEALTH TIP
Microwave in glass.
Pop-your frozen entree onto a glass plate or dish before microwaving. The thin plastic containers used for frozen foods have already been through several degradations when formed, then loaded with hot prepared food, and then frozen. The degradation of plastics caused by extreme heat and cold have been linked to cancer. If you must heat your food in them occasionally, do so, but NEVER reuse them over and over. The same advice goes for your plastic water bottle. Never freeze it! I DO FREEZE MY WATER BOTTLE

Past and future
What if the past existed only in your memory, and you could do with it whatever you wanted to do? It would only be able to hold you back if you allowed it to do so. And what if the future existed only in your imagination? You could do with it whatever you wanted to do. You wouldn't have to fear anything in the future. You wouldn't have to worry about anything or be apprehensive about anything in that future.

Guess what? That's exactly the way it is. The past does exist solely in your memory and the future exists only in your imagination. You can take from the past precisely what you decide to take. And you can put into the future only what you decide to put there.

The past and the future are in your mind and under your control. And also under your control is what you do right now. So take the best from your past and make use of it right now. You've already moved away from every disappointment you've ever experienced. Keep moving positively ahead. Imagine a bright and positive future because it's yours to imagine in any way you wish. And use right now to start making it happen.
