Well, this year didn't start off very well...I have been sick all of 2008. Apparently, I caught the flu at church just before New Year's Eve, and have yet to recover. As is usual for me, I ended up with bronchitis from it. But I'm getting meds now, and I am finally on the mend. This time of year it seems to be difficult seeing a doctor.
Given that, you'll forgive me if I don't blog for long. There's not much to tell really, as I was layed up for the first week of the year, and slogging through work while struggling with fatigue the second.
New Year's Eve dinner was good, as usual, but you can tell I'm starting to look a little pale in the picture (see Ellice's last blog).
DND was a bit of struggle as well, as I was sick, David was sick, Ellice pregnant, Logan and Nate had stayed up late the night before. Even with tempers short and minds wandering, we had a good time.
UK won its second consecutive bowl game against a depleted LSU team. The basketball team lost a couple, including the annual Louisville game (not an unexpected loss here).
Star Wars: Spectre of the Past by Timothy Zahn
This is the first in the Hand of Thrawn duology
Very good book. I enjoyed it a lot. Some interesting new bad guys along with some old favorites like Admiral Pellaeon, Thrawn's old prodigy. The new baddies though lack that distinctive hook you expect in Star Wars, but this is passable. The heroes are familiar from the films and earlier books, along with a Mistril warrior; she's a nice addition as well. I won't delve into the plot, but it is intriguing and worth the read by any SW fan. ***
