Powering through

The work week was sporadic, what with intermittent days due to power outages. The kids were a lot wonky, as if they had never had instruction on how to behave at school. They seem legitimately surprised when they get called down for stuff. Sometimes I wonder...

UK lost yet another one. Our star players Patterson and Meeks scored 15 pts each. Meeks is the fourth leading scorer in the country and the opposition is beating the crap out of him. I'm appalled at the lack of calls. Meeks lost a tooth in the last game, can you believe that? They really are getting frustrated, you can see that on the court. The reason they are losing is they are growing tentative. Everyone but Meeks and Patterson are being left wide open and won't or can't score, they are giving up on the inside and can't grab a board, and the turnovers have steadily increased. Let's hope the coach can fix things by tomorrow with Florida coming to town.

The Savage Caves by T H Lain (Philip Athans)

T H Lain was a pseudonym used by a series of nine authors for books published by Wizards of the Coast.

This book was not a stellar work of literature by any means, but it was good fantasy adventure. This book is based on the DND game, and captures the feel and essence of a role-playing dungeon. Above and beyond that, there isn't much here. A fun book, that won't shake up the world. **1/2
