HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW

We have another birthday today, Andrew is now 9 years old, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW. He had his birthday party yesterday afternoon and then went to see the Renegades play last night with 9 or 10 of his friends and they got to sit on the front row. Speaking of the Renegades they won again last night OT, this time they beat the Pee Dee Cyclones 4-3. The Gades were lucky to get a win in this won because I don't think they played to well, the Gades will now be on the road until Feb 23, the circus will be in Richmond next week. Tony Stewart won last night Bud Shootout at Daytona, they will qualify today at Daytona for the front row for the Daytona 500, there are 61 drivers trying to make the race. The Virginia Tech Hokies dismantled the Virginia Cavaliers in basketball yesterday 84-57, the Cavs looked terrible and you could tell right off it was goingto be a long game for the Cavs. The UVA baseball team picked up another victory yesterday beating the North Florida Ospreys 10-1 in South Carolina, today the Cavaliers will face Coastal Carolina. There still a chance that a winter storm could effect CH area starting Monday night, the National Weather Service is now are appearing to call for more sleet and freezing rain than snow though. The temperature on Monday is suppose to be in the low 50's. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW. MICKEY

The previous night, Paar had told a joke during his monologue, and although Paar didn’t say “toilets,” but “water closets,” it offended the NBC censors, who cut the joke (a total of four minutes) out of the show. Paar was incensed when he found out, so on this night he complained about the NBC censors, said “good night” and left.
