Roughly 1000 members of the country music and radio industries will be in town this weekend. They are here for Country Cares, a seminar that gives participants a look at the mission of St. Jude through tours, patient panels, and sessions on how to make radiothons a success. They will be here through Sunday the 19th. Welcome to all!
The Memphis Tigers host UConn at 6 PM at the FedExForum today. The game will be nationally broadcast on ESPN. UConn, ranked at the beginning of the season, has stumbled a few times, but a win over UConn would still be considered a quality win by the NCAA tournament committee.
A friend of mine had a really sweet dog show up on her doorstep in East Memphis a few days ago. My friend took her around the neighborhood to try and find the owners, but no luck. The dog gets along fairly well with other dogs and with cats, can be walked on a leash, and is housetrained. My friend has two other dogs and a cat, so she can’t keep her. Would anyone like to adopt this dog? If so email me at paul@paulryburn.com and I will put you in touch. My friend is willing to help with the cost of shots and spaying if needed. If no one adopts her within a few days, she will have to go to the shelter where her future would likely be grim.
