Tommy Druen: Take the time to go to a game

Previous Column: The value of a good night's sleep

By Tommy Druen

The late winter of 1985 had a pretty lasting impression on me. It may have been 37 years since I was in 1st grade, but I can tell you so many highlights of trips to Bowling Green and then Lexington within a couple of weeks. That was the year Metcalfe County High School, my alma mater, went to the KHSAA Sweet Sixteen, boys' basketball tournament.

Among my memories was a sign in Edmonton that said something along the lines of "Last one leaving, turn out the lights." It may have been humorous, but it wasn't far from accurate. It not only was the biggest week in the school's history, which only had slightly over 300 students, but also the biggest week in Metcalfe County's history, which at the time was approximately 9,000 people. Not only did school shut down, but so did all the local government offices and most of the businesses. It seemed like the whole county went to Lexington.

Phillip Coffey - Victor or Battle Lost

A cat lying comfortably, - rounded in a chair - no weariness, no cares, with collar about his neck - adorned.

No fits of rage, no thoughts that be troublesome, no travels well beyond his master's 'table - no fearful scorn.

Or lust in his youthful mind, doubts with flesh oppressed - outreaching to the futile side.

'No grin and bear it', no mounting bills to pay, no internet-too frequently to swear about.
