Day off work today. Sitting here at the Second Street branch office getting some stuff done on the laptop. Although, the connection sucks here… the Saucer’s Wi-Fi seems to be down, so I’m sitting in the window and MoochNetting off Jillian’s across the street.
The South Main Association will have its monthly meeting tomorrow at 6 PM at Ground Zero Blues Club. The UrbanArt Commission will be there to discuss ideas for murals to brighten up the South Main streetscape. They’ll be looking for your ideas too, so if you’re an artist or creative person, this would be a good meeting to come to. Free appetizers for members (non-members $5 to attend) and cash bar. Ground Zero is on Lt. Lee Avenue next to the Westin Hotel, one block south of Beale.
Just received information about a dodgeball tournament to benefit Youth Villages:

Had a beer with a friend of mine yesterday, and she told me that she’s now working for ADP, the largest payroll processing company in the country. She’s signing up small businesses that have 1-49 employees, and she told me stories about saving some of them a couple grand a year. They also have a guarantee that they can match or beat the price of their competitor. If you own or manage a small business and want to talk to her, shoot me an e-mail (paul@paulryburn.com) and I’ll put you in touch with her. ADP is a great company, one of the true blue-chips… I used to own shares of them in my Roth IRA.
Speaking of businesses, if you read the blog from work and haven’t scrolled back through the weekend’s posts, you may have missed the announcement about my newest website, Mid-South Alcoholic Supply. There you can find books about beer, wine, liquors, and drinking in general, as well as drinking games, glasses, mixers, bar sets and equipment, everything the accomplished drinker needs. My friend Dr. Booze is writing a blog for the site as well, where he’ll keep you informed on the latest developments in the world of alcohol.
It’s killing me to look at that picture of that South of Heaven Roll I took last night… I’m starving for one now, and Hoop’s Bar doesn’t open until 7 PM (or whenever Hoop puts the sign out). My health guru AL commented that her heart is palpitating just looking at it. Guess I’m going to have to hit Publish and go find SOMETHING to eat… so that’s all for now.
