Happy Sunday Camden Chatters! Like me, I’m sure many of you woke up to a dreary rain that makes it the perfect day to sleep in. That’s what I would still be doing if not for the small child that demands breakfast every morning.
How about that World Series game last night? The Nationals appeared to be in control after winning the first two games in Houston, but since returning home to DC haven’t been able to win a game. The series is now tied 2-2 with game five tonight at 8 p.m.
If you’re looking for a lot of Orioles news, well I’m afraid you’re going to have to wait awhile. But I went looking for some interesting stories for you all the same.
