Loaded Questions 11/28/22 - Sports
Time out!
Happy Monday everyone! Hope your Thanksgiving break was breaking if you had one. If you didn’t have a harvest festival this last week, I hope you are counting down the days until the winter one. Starting our week this week with some sports questions, just so we can burn off those casserole calories.
Also, not sure who would be interested in it, but I’ve got a book of crossword puzzles coming out in December! I’ve been writing crosswords for the Charlotte Ledger in NC all throughout 2022, and that collection is being compended as a stocking stuffer. If you or someone you know is a crossword fan (or resident of the American South), consider picking up a copy! Link HERE.
Anyway, back to our regular game. Enjoy!
