What a week

What a week this has been. Personally, work has been hellish for the last two weeks, hence my silence on matters I would usually post. The wrath of Katrina is heartbreaking, and we discuss it constantly at work, so work has not been fun at all. I was lucky to actually go to New Orleans my senior year of high school to see UK play in the final four, and have wonderful memories. I have said for years that I wanted to go back as an adult and experience New Orleans as you're supposed to. I even flirted with the idea of that being my honeymoon. I am so sad to know that I won't ever see what I remember again. My prayers go out to everyone affected by this tragedy.

There has also been a shake-up with a music club downtown that I have frequented more than any other over the past year, The Dame. Here's the article in the Herald-Leader. Who knows what's going to happen next. I wish Cole & Co. the best, they created a great place to see music out of a hole in the wall (and I do remember the hole in the wall it was with no heat and broken everything). I hope that they find another place in Lexington and give it another go. Even though Cole's name was the only one I knew, I knew the staff by face, and it was a familiar face I saw each time I went there, and that's comforting in a strange way. The Dame's mb is still up, maybe some news will crop up there.

On a happier note, my good friend and former roomie Ashley turns 30 tomorrow, and the celebration is tonight. I am really looking forward to having a fun night out with him and his girlfriend April and the rest of the motley crew that will be there. Welcome to 30, my friend!
