Canadian Sister Olympic Skiers

      A couple weeks before the olympics started my dad was talking about a guy he works with from Canada, that has three daughters that would be in the olympics in Russia for moguls. They are Maxime, Justine, and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe. Their oldest sister Maxime was in Vancouver for the olympics last time in 2010. This year all three sisters would be competing in the Olympics. I was watching the Olympics a couple days ago and I saw woman's moguls. I started watching it and saw the three sisters. I kept watching it until the finals and it ended with the two youngest sisters placing gold and silver. The oldest sister didn't place but I thought it was fair because she was in the Olympics in Vancouver. 

Jerry Remy returning

      Baseball is starting back up and announcers are getting ready to get back to work. Pitchers and catchers are going back to spring training now. Jerry Remy is a Boston Red Sox announcer and former baseball player. During last season in August his son, Jared Remy was arrested for murdering his girlfriend, Jeniffer Martel. After his son was arrested he took a leave of absence for the rest of the year. No one was sure if he would ever come back. This month Jerry Remy said he would be returning as an announcer this year. He says that at first he was convinced he wasn't going to come back for two reason. One is what the public would think and two is whether he could be himself. He said he had a circle of three friends and his wife, Phoebe, who urged him to reconsider. He finally reconsidered after the new year. He refers back to when he was drafted to the major leagues. He describes how he wanted to quit but his father convinced him to stay and play. He says it was not an easy decision but it was the right decision.
