What a waste of a weekend. I have been trying to kick a sinus infection that I have had for a week and a half. As of this morning it is officially gone, but I had to sleep 12 hours Saturday night and through the last three quarters of the Super Bowl Sunday night to make it happen.
I always have weird dreams when not feeling well. Last night I dreamed I opened a joint checking account with the Oregon Ducks mascot. No idea why.
Article that is worth a read if you’re into Memphis music: Rodd Bland is bridging the gap between blues old and new. The son of Bobby “Blue” Bland and the godson of B.B. King was asked to lead the procession carrying Lucille at King’s funeral.
The Grizzlies are having an Islamic Heritage Night Sunday, March 6. There will be a post-game event on the court for an hour and a half following the game.
Our BBQ teammate from Monclova, Mexico, Mardoqueo (Kao for short), is in town for a week. We told him, “You have to try Maciel’s Tortas and Tacos on the Main Street Mall,” we told him. “It seems like authentic Mexican to us, but we want to hear it from you.”
So, Saturday, Kao went in. “I spoke to the owner in Spanish,” he told me. “All the recipes are his grandmother’s. An older chef taught him the ways of the North American customer. The food is the real deal. Their salsa is homemade, which is a big plus. I had the Cuban torta. Very generous portions of everything. I hadn’t eaten lunch and had trouble finishing it.” There you go. Authentic Mexican, certified by a Mexican.
The Grizzlies host the Portland Trailblazers tonight at 7 at FedExForum.
@SRiley_WREG3 reported that a committee is considering addressing panhandling in Memphis the way Albuquerque does, offering panhandlers a chance to work for a day rather than issuing them a citation. I don’t think that would completely solve Memphis’ panhandling problem but it is a step in the right direction.
All right. Flurries are possible this afternoon so I better get to Kroger. BREAD AND MILK, MILK AND BREAD! I will be out at the usual places after work.
