Oh, Kentucky

eggs
October 14, 2002

i was intimidated by eggs
early in my bachelor career
shell in the yoke (yuck), pain to clean up
this, i see, was an irrational fear

here's the thing: eggs are easy. two tips:
-- pull shell apart; don't collapse with thumbs
-- wipe pan asap after with dry towel
being afraid of breakfast is dumb


And yet, the Kentucky Poet Laureate is not me.

WKDZ was on the scene to cover Hopkinsville's mayor, Dan Kemp, and others celebrate Christian County High's KHSAA boys' basketball championship: "I just want to thank these young men for doing something that has really lifted the spirit of this whole community. ... Everybody has really felt good to be Christian Countians."

The coach of Christian County's 1976 and '79 KHSAA boys' basketball runner-up squads made the trip up from Florida to watch the Colonels win their first title, Mike Fields reports in The Herald-Leader.

Also: good jobs news from Hoptown.

RIP, 1933's Kentucky Spelling Bee champion.

I always thought of the Derek Whittenberg/Sidney Lowe/Lorenzo Charles N.C. State Wolfpack as being the pioneers of the high-five, but this wouldn't be the first time that Murray didn't get the props its innovations deserve.

"Feels Like the First Time" because it is--finally.
