Yesterday I decided to do something different for happy hour. I headed south to my “home away from home on the south side,” Max’s Sports Bar, where every Monday they have dollar PBR from 4:30 opening time to 7. My friend Bjarni (pronounced BEE-ar-nee) was bartending. “The other 165.5 hours of the week you’re Bjarni,” I told him. “But from 4:30 to 7 on Mondays, you’re PBjaRni.” PBjaRni seemed pleased with his new name.
If you don’t believe me when I say that the Memphis Farmers Market is one of the best farmers markets in the country, check out what Style Blueprint has to say. Beef jerky, goat cheese logs, cleaning products, breakfast and more. Of course, they have fresh produce too! I am a huge fan of the Market and go most every week. Check back here every Thursday or Friday (depending on when they send out the email) to learn what is going on at the Market that week. It’s every Saturday through mid-November at the pavilion at Front and GE Patterson, 7 AM to 1 PM.
This would be a huge change: The NCAA has discussed eliminating kickoffs in college football. I get the point, seeing as how kickoffs can be the most dangerous plays of the game. However, if you eliminate them, you take away onside kicks, the one chance a losing team has to recover the ball and keep the receiving team from running out the clock.

That’s the news for now. Time to figure out why my garage parking pass stopped working (yes I paid the bill on time) then off to work. Possibly a second post later today.
