One last post then heading to Little Rock to see my mom for an indefinite length of time.
Man, that Grizzlies home loss to the Thunder in the last FedExForum home game was just painful to watch! However, it’s time to move on to the next one. And the next one is a good one.
They play the Charlotte Hornets at FedExForum at 7 Friday and it will be a Star Wars themed night. You will want to get there early, because the first 3000 fans will get a free Tony Allen Star Wars robe for his “padawan learners.”
Friday also has a special offer of a beer tasting ticket for the game. The featured brewery is Sierra Nevada and the pricing is $77.50 for a club level seat or $39.50 for club level seat. You get a Grizzlies commemorative pint glass with the ticket. Deadline to order is Thursday.

Post I saw on Facebook today: Have a purse you don’t want? Fill it with snacks, sanitary, and hygiene items and give it to a homeless woman. Great idea!
There will be no more new gas stations in Uptown.
I hear AT&T crossed Bardog’s phone lines today, meaning no one could order Bardog delivery unless they knew the number of the law firm next door.
I hear Bluefin had a “Plum Work, Open Tomorrow” sign on its locked doors today. Sure sign of quality, that you close to harvest your own plums. Didn’t realize they were a huge ingredient in sushi though?
Oh wait the “Plum” could be their employees walked out.
I’m done. In Little Rock for the next couple of days. Will post if I can.
