NOT MUCH GOING ON HERE

I have to say there is not to much going on here in the Heights. We couldn't get on the field yesterday at the stadium yesterday but were able to get in cage to take some batting practice getting ready for Fridays season opener at Varina. It was a bit on the cool side yesterday with temps in the low 50's but is suppose to be in the 70's on Friday, however with the game starting at 6pm the temp will be falling pretty fast throughout the game. The Virginia baseball team will be back in action today against William & Mary at home before hitting the road to James Madison tomorrow. My sinuses are really bothering this morning, I did take something for it so I am hoping that it will clear up some soon. MICKEY

We either make ourselves miserable,
or happy and strong.
The amount of work is the same.”

Leeks
These scallionlike cousins of garlic and onions are packed with bone-bolstering thiamine, riboflavin, calcium, and potassium. Leeks are also rich in folic acid, a B vitamin that studies have shown to lower levels of the artery-damaging amino acid homocystein in the blood. What's more, "Leeks can support sexual functioning and reduce the risk of prostate cancer," says Michael Dansinger, MD, an assistant professor of medicine and an obesity researcher at Tufts–New England Medical Center, in Boston. "Chop the green part of a medium leek into thin ribbons and add it to soups, sautés, and salads as often as possible."
