SCHOOL STARTS IN GEORGIA TODAY, IT'S THE BEST DAY OF THE WEEK

Well down on Georgia today Scottie heads back to school and from what I understand he is not happy about it. I know there are several people here in Virginia that are glad that the are not going back today. Well it's Friday again the day I now consider the best day of the week, I sure am glad that it is Friday because I need a couple of days of rest. The Nascar Sprint Cup Series returns to Pocono this weekend and there are several drivers who need to have a good run, I am predicting that either Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson or Mark Martin will win this week, I sure am going out on a limb picking those drivers. It looks like that we might pick up a little rain today as well, we got some last night but we sure could use some more. Also in the BIB Tournament tonight one of the Colonial Heights teams will be be in action tonight when the CH Quarterback Club faces the Prince George Nationals. Have a nice day. MICKEY

Achieve a Balance: One of the biggest fitness mistakes is either expecting an immediate payoff or looking too far ahead. While it's beneficial to have long-term goals, try to focus on smaller mini-goals and be patient when it comes to seeing results.

Berry Selection and Storage
Berries tend to spoil quickly, especially if they're broken or stored in damp conditions. Before buying, check them carefully for mold or broken berries. Also, don't rinse your berries until you're ready to eat them. If you can't eat them within a day or two, either freeze them or cook into a sauce (add a pinch of salt, and sweetener to taste) which can be refrigerated for up to a week (or frozen). Freezing and cooking do not damage most of the phytochemicals in the fruit, although cooking lowers the Vitamin C content.

You can learn
You can learn from everything. Take full advantage of that great opportunity.
From joy, you can learn. From adversity, you can learn.

From friends, from travel, challenge, disappointment, pleasure, achievement, anger, frustration and beauty, you can learn. From the biggest ideas and the smallest details you can learn.

You can even learn just by thinking in a new way about what you've already learned. Whatever it is you wish to learn, you can learn.

Your knowledge and wisdom add great value and effectiveness to whatever you do. Every day there are countless opportunities to increase that knowledge and that wisdom.

Learning is the ability from which all other abilities arise and improve. Keep on learning all that you can learn.
-- Ralph Marston
