  There must be something in the water around southeastern Virginia. Talented folks have come from this area in droves as of late. Even folks that passed through the area must've drank the water. Thomas Roberts, Stan Verrett, Christy Carlo, and Kelly Wright all worked at the same news building, WAVY/WVBT. Now Thomas is at CNN Headline News, Stan's at ESPN, Christy's over at MSNBC, and Kelly's over at Fox News. Musicians must've also drank the Southeastern Virginia water. Teddy Riley, The Neptunes (and N.E.R.D.
), Missy Elliott, and Timberland and Magoo all hail from the area. And athletes .
. .
BOY, they must've drank a lot of water around here. Atlanta's Michael Vick, Philadelphia's Allen Iverson, and plenty of other athletes hail from SE VA. Also, remember this name: Latasha Colander. She was a world-class track star way back when she was at Wilson High (my alma mater, she was a year ahead of me), and she already has Olympic gold around her neck (I know, I took a picture of it).
She's Athens bound in the 100-meter dash, leading Team USA to a potential gold metal win, coming in first place today. Cheer her on, ladies and gents. Another reason to drink the water of Southeastern Virginia. *grabs cup of water* Cool, refreshing drink.
