It’s Saturday and I’m happy. Know why I’m happy about Saturday, besides the usual reasons? Because I won’t have to see anyone’s “kid’s first week of school” photos on social media today. Facebook needs a “hide pictures of kids” filter. Instagram even more so.
The Breakaway-Bardog 5K was featured yesterday on WREG’s Live at 9, and viewers got an additional treat: They learned how to make Bardog’s tuna wontons. If you missed it you can watch the video here.

The latest in tube top fashion. I think I last saw this outfit in the dance line on a 1979 episode of Soul Train.
If you’re an Elvis fan, Backbeat Tours has a Hound Dog Tour leaving from Blues City Cafe tomorrow at 2:30 that sounds like it would be a good time.
That’s it for now. I’ll be at Panda’s bar at Bardog at 11 as usual. A friend of mine has recommended the Picadillo (ground beef hash) from Havana’s Pilon, so I’m thinking about that for lunch.
