A trifecta is generally described as a type of bet where, in order to win, the bettor must pick the top three finishers in the correct order. Here are the weekend’s top three:
Wicked: Thanks to our brother-in-law’s very generous Christmas present, My Sweet Baboo and I enjoyed a sold-out presentation of Wicked, the story of Elphaba (the wicked witch of the west) and Glinda (the good witch) in the time before Dorothy and Toto ever got to Oz. The acting was great, the singing was great, and we enjoyed the story. It wasn’t like some musicals, where you walk away with a song in your head or your heart, but it was a great production and a lot of fun.
SU holding on by the skin of their teeth to beat West Virginia . This was another classic Big East game, made even more important by the fact that it was two top-10 teams fighting it out. As often is the case with SU, a 10-point lead is never safe, and these games truly aren’t over until the final buzzer. We’re off to Notre Dame tonight, and hoping we can end the road trip three for three.
Reading for the fun of it. I managed to knock off a book on Saturday and another one on Sunday. The first was Judge and Jury, another reliable collaboration from James Patterson and Andrew Gross. On Sunday, it was Elaine Meryl Brown’s Playing by the Rules, the story of a community in the Blue Ridge Mountains that has a set of very strict rules to live by. The book explores what happens to folks in the community when faced with the unexpected.
What made your top three?
