ANOTHER RAINY DAY, RANGERS IN TROUBLE

Well it looks like if we practice at all today it will be in the cage again. There is a 100% of rain today on top of the rain we already had this weekend. We haven't been able to practice on the field in more than a week because of all the rain we have had, we sure have had our share of dreary days. The New York Rangers are now down 2-0 with the Penguins after yesterdays 2-0 loss, the way the Penguins are playing right now it is going to be extremely difficult to overcome that deficit. Kyle Busch won yesterdays Sprint Cup race at Talladega beating Juan Montoya back to the line to pick up the win, Jeff Burton still leads the points standings by 29 over Kyle Busch, 79 over Dale Jr. and 99 over Denny Hamlin. Kyle Busch has quickly become the #1 driver in the Joe Gibbs Racing stable. My sinuses are much better this morning mainly because I didn't go outside to much yesterday but I turned my left foot and it is a bit sore. In some tragic news here from CH a toddler drowned last night in there backyard swimming pool. MICKEY

Our lives improve only when we take chances -- and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves.

Frame of life
The way you frame your life has a major impact on the way your life unfolds. The way you see yourself and your place in the world determines who you truly are.

The unstated assumptions upon which you rely are constantly exerting their influence. Your deepest, most sincere feelings about life have a way of coloring every circumstance.

The events in your world do not just happen without reason or source. They are driven by your most fundamental expectations of how you will find life to be.

In each small moment and in every large undertaking, your frame of life sets the stage. So choose to frame your life with love, with respect, with beauty, grace and a focus on the most magnificent possibilities.

The way you see the world determines the kind of world you see. So decide to assume, expect and look for the very best you can imagine.

Live with a positive, enthusiastic and thankful frame of life. And within that empowering frame, you will create a masterpiece that grows more beautiful with each moment.
