I was really putting this blog off until I had something to review, whether it be a book I had finished or a movie I had watched, but I just couldn't quite get to anything or finish a book. Seeing as how this is Fall Break (ahhhhhhh) a book or two should get read this week.
The things that have happened in the interim:
Ellice has sustained a pair of injuries, one to her lower back and another to her knee. She's doing okay, but hobbling a bit and in general feeling rather sore. Pray for her recovery.
In our game we finished my character's solo, a rousing adventure that was a lot of fun and may be published someday, either as a novel, short story or module(hopefully). At the minimum, it will make on the gaming blogs attached to this one. We are switching over to Star Wars: Dreams of Destiny next week, and we're all eager for the change of pace.
UK's football team lost a pair of heartbreakers after a promising 4-0 start. The first was to #2 ranked Alabama on their field (14-17) and the second was a tight contest to South Carolina (17-24). We lost our #1 senior receiver, Dicky Lyons, JR. to a season (career) ending injury to his leg. He leaves us as an all-time top five receiver in a bunch of categories at the University. He will be missed. Our defense has been sensational, but our offense has struggled. We are hoping to win a few more games in the super-tough SEC to become bowl eligible for the third year in a row, for the first time since Bear Bryant coached here in the 1940s-1950s. Next week we host Arkansas, then we go to top ten Florida in Gainesville who Kentucy hasn't beaten in like seventeen years or so. Beth (Chick) use to go there and she says don't feel bad, they cheat :)
On another note, UK had their Midnight Madness, the first practice for the basketball team last Friday night. Everyone is fired up about this team as we have depth, a lot of height, and everyone seems healthy after the injury-plagued season last year. Ellice and I are both excited to see our Basketball team return to prominence.
Our volleyball team tries, but alas, I have led us to three straight losses. I'm working on getting more energy and enthusiasm into the games, maybe that will help. Between the losses in softball and the volleyball team, I'm starting to think that coaching may not be my thing.
Have a good week all.

I hope you all enjoyed your fall break - since you didn't blog as much as you hoped you would. ; ) Did you get any reading/movie watching in for your next blog?
Have fun playing Star Wars, and thanks for the D&D mini-lesson this summer...one of my students is a huge fan so now I kind of understand her when she goes on and on about it!
