ANOTHER LONG WEEKEND HAS COME TO AN END

Well another long weekend has come to an end and I won't have another day off until Memorial Day unless it snows and I do without the snow. Me and Al went to Louisa yesterday afternoon to visit with George, Melody and Lexi. Lexi is crawling around a bit now and I don't think it will be to much longer before she is up and walking around. It looks like it is to be another very mild week here in CH weather wise, looking at the forecast it appear today is going to be the coldest day of the week with a high of 58 and the rest of the week it is going be in the lower 60's, I like the mild weather myself. The CH girls basketball team will be back in action tonight against Prince George at home, Prince George has one of the better teams in CD this year. In college basketball yesterday Bobby Knight become the winning nest coach in college basketball history when Texas Tech beat New Mexico 70-68, he passed Dean Smith with his 880th win. In what might have been the most entertaining game in college football history Boise St beat Oklahoma 43-42 in OT on one of the oldest plays in backyard football history, the Statue of Liberty play and I have to say the ran it to perfection. No I wasn't up to see the finish of the game but I say on the WWW this morning. MICKEY
