The latest Facebook trend in the south is undoubtedly the “Cold Water Challenge.” This possibly has not traveled to the north yet, or maybe it has already passed there and is just now making its way to my little county. Nevertheless, my Facebook feed is a quilted pattern of people getting soaked for a cause.… Read More From Ice Buckets to Swimming Pools: The Cold Water Challenge
“Don’t hit! Don’t hit! Don’t hit!” “BAM!” A few hours earlier my stomach was hurting because I was laughing so much. Every few months, the crew at the Pizza Hut where I worked through high school has a card party or movie night. I still go to them. It was a good night, complete with… Read More “BAM!”
“We haven’t seen weather like this in this part of the state since early 1994…” was the weatherman’s statement while giving the seven-day forecast on Sunday. Right he was.
