MOZART WILL ARRIVE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS

Well after losing Leeza & Brady last year we didn't know if we were going to get another dog but we have decide to get another Shih Tzu. Our new dog Mozart will arrive in the next few weeks, right now he is almost 7 weeks old and I have enclosed a couple of photos of the young man. The CAA basketball tournament will start today at the Richmond Coliseum, the VCU Rams will face the Delaware today. I understand that Andrew will be attending all the games again this year. The Virginia baseball team will be back in action later today against Wight State. The Nascar Sprint Cup Series will be in action this week at Atlanta, it was previously reported on Mickey's Place that they would be off this week. After fellow bloggers requesting it's return my Pain Index has returned on the scroller at the top of the page, as you can tell it is elevated a bit after throwing allot of BP this week. I sure am glad that it is Friday. MICKEY
