How about...the worst power outage in Kentucky history?
This week featured an ice storm that trumped the storm of 2003, putting over 600,000 customers, including yours truly, without electricity in the Bluegrass. We were put up for a night by friends and then put others up for a while when ours was restored. The region has looked like the disaster area that it is, but we've held up pretty well, all things considered. Power is still a rare commodity statewide, but as of last night everyone within our circle officially has electricity.
UK has dropped a pair of games just after cracking the top 25, due to poor rebounding and turnovers. Hopefully, Billy G can right the ship before we drop too many.
The Super Bowl party was a lot of fun, with a very dramatic game. Pittsburgh came up with more big plays and showed why they were the team to beat. Arizona took the lead late, but the Steelers stepped up big time on a last minute drive to take home the Lombardi trophy for a record sixth time in franchise history. I was rooting for the Cards, in case anyone was wondering.
Wicked
The music was fantastic, the production wonderful. There were a few twists I didn't expect, and a lot of cheeky humor. I loved this musical. Elphaba was fantastic, Glinda was good, not great (I could see why she was an understudy). For any lover of powerful music and high production value, I highly recommend this play. ****
The Pursuit of God by Andrew Tozer
This was one of the more thought-provoking and inspirational religious works I've read over the past few years. The premise is that modern religion is no longer concerned with deliberate worship, but looks at church in a more passive, entertainment focused atmosphere. This was a stirring read; I recommend this author to any who feel they need a fire lit under their complacency. ***
