CCHS had 17 turnovers (6 more than Jordan) and Jordan was able to cash in on them, scoring 15 of their 46 points as a...
Keep your winter coat and gloves handy. According to furry meteorologist Punxsutawney Phil who saw his shadow on Wednesday morning, there will be six more weeks of winter.

Hello God, it’s me, Mara: What do ‘we’ see when we look up? In January, SNOW? Moisture is needed, that’s for sure, ‘Twould help Spring grass to grow. As Winter ends, there’s sleet and haze, sometimes that too shows up. But it’s still cold most everywhere – we need warm cover-ups! Days lengthen and we view the stars; like the awesome Milky Way!

I heard on the radio the other day that children get their intelligence from their mothers. That might explain what has happened to my brain.
