Sports galore on TV this weekend … NFL football, ACC basketball, PGA golf and more … No lack of entertainment … A great time to be homebound…
Church on Sunday…
The annual Elizabethtown-White Lake Chamber of Commerce is set for Thursday, January 25th at Lu Mil Vineyard … Looking at the line-up of speakers and presentations … Should be worth the price of admission … and the cost includes what likely will be a delicious meal…
A lot of sickness in the area … Flu, COVID, etc. … FYI … Medical clinics, pharmacists and staff … busy, busy…
Nothing that I enjoy more is to see a friend I haven’t seen in years … Yesterday, saw one of the first and best ‘little leaguers’ I ever had the pleasure of coaching … Now in his early 60s … looking good … Ronald Williams … Think he could play a little 3rd base come spring … but, like many, his gray beard gives his age away…
