DONUTS VERY GOOD THIS MORNING

I have to say that the donuts at Wal-Mart were so good this morning that I had to eat 3 of them instead of 2, I normally don't do this but they were so good that I just had too. The Richmond Renegades fell to the Knoxville Ice Bears last night 4-2 in Knoxville, the Gades apparently left there offense back in Richmond. The Gades will be down in fellow blogger Scott's state tonight to face the Columbus Cottonmouths. The Colonial Heights Colonials fell to the Hopewell Blue Devils last night 66-46, Hopewell just wore down the Colonials with there depth. Today in college basketball action the VCU Rams will be at Hofstra trying to recover from there Northeastern loss. I had thought about going down to the beach this weekend but in the end I just decided to stay in the Heights, it looked like it was going to be pretty cold down there today so I figure I would just stay here.

COLONIALS WIN, GADES ON THE ROAD

The Colonial Heights girls basketball team picked up another district win last night knocking off Hopewell 65-35, the Colonials lead this one all the way and were never threatened by Hopewell. CH's #1 fan Andrew was also in attendance along with a few other fellow bloggers. The CH boys basketball team will be in action at home tonight against Hopewell as well, the Colonials will be looking for an upset win. The Richmond Renegades will be on the road this weekend, tonight the Gades will be in Knoxville and then they will take the bust over to Columbus, the Gades will be back home next Friday night. Fellow blogger Keith will be heading back home from New Jersey tonight after another tough week of government work. My PAIN index remains up this morning because I think something bit me on my right shoulder and I don't know what it was and my side is still a bit sore as well. MICKEY

A mile on the ocean and a mile on land are not the same distance. On the ocean, a nautical mile measures 6,080 feet. A land or statute mile is 5,280 feet.

DID YOU KNOW
Fifty-four percent of the adult population in the United States drinks coffee every day.

Short Term Stress Relief
Find some stress relievers that can calm your stress response in the short term. You may not even realize it if your fight-or-flight response has been triggered and you've been in 'stress mode' for quite a while, but this can lead to chronic stress, and can take a heavy physical toll. Try some quick stress relievers to reverse this stress response, and you'll be better able to take additional steps to relieve stress. You'll also feel better.

Continued success
When momentum is on your side, use it. When you're going strong, keep going and become even stronger.
Don't let your success stop you from continuing to succeed. Before the goal is accomplished, have another goal ready and waiting to take its place.

Each accomplishment opens the door to many more opportunities. Each success paves the way for even greater success.

When the job is done, celebrate the victory by setting your sights even higher. You've firmly established a positive pattern, so keep it going and improve upon it.

The value you've just created can now be put to productive use. Just imagine what is now possible.

Great accomplishments are built from small successes. Keep the momentum going, and there's no limit to what you can achieve.

RENEGADES BLOW LEAD & FALL IN OT, I THINK I HAVE PULLED A MUSCLE

The Richmond Renegades blew a two gaol lead in the final 5:46 of the game before falling to Twin City 4-3 in OT. It just looked like they stopped skating when they went up 3-1 and Twin City played capitalized on that and came away with the win. The Colonial Heights Colonials boys basketball team fell to Dinwiddie last night 59-53, the CH girls basketball team will be back at home tonight against Hopewell. I think I have pulled a muscle in the right side of my torso, it is very tender from my ribs to my right shoulder and the bad thing is I don't remember how I did it. Also by the way Andrew got to go to last nights hockey game as well since he is staying with us and both his mom & dad are out of town working for the government, fellow blogger Lee and a few of his Rowdy Rams fans were there as well.

Maintain a Sense of Humor
You can turn your stresses into fun with an attitude shift if you focus on maintaining a sense of humor in your daily life. With a lighthearted attitude, events that would normally be annoying become amusing; big hassles become humorously absurd; major stressors become really great stories waiting to be told. Having a sense of humor is a big part of having fun — it’s a way to actively seek out fun and happiness instead of waiting for it to come to you.
