A PRETTY GOOD BIRTHDAY

I have to say that I had a pretty good birthday yesterday despite having to work in the warehouse all day. I went up and watched the Colonial Heights JV football team in action last night against Park View, lets just say it wasn't very pretty, the CH varsity football team will be at Park View tomorrow night. Tonight in college football action Georgia tech will be at Miami which is the 1st game in the college football contest this weekend. It looks like I will be heading down to Chapel Hill, NC on Saturday to see East Carolina face North Carolina, I have never been to Chapel Hill before. My sinuses are really bothering this morning so it could be a long day. MICKEY

HEALTH TIP, DONT'S
Eating food samples at grocery stores. For the same reason you wouldn't lick a stranger's hand, it's best not to dive into the freebie bowl of chips at the supermarket. Ask yourself: "Would I open up a bag of chips and share it, communally, with 50 people on the street right now?" Probably not.

Caffeine overload: You probably reach for more coffee when you're tired, but experts say that too much caffeine can sometimes backfire, causing you to feel more fatigued. Maybe skip the triple-venti today.
