Kale, Yeah! is the theme at the Memphis Farmers Market this Saturday. To which I reply: Kale, no! There are many reasons I go to the Market but kale is not one of them. This week there will be live music by Zoo Girls 8:30-10 and Maria Spence 11-12:30. Kids will be able to decorate their own planting pot, so they can learn the importance of gardening, feel the magic of watching something grow, and feel the pain of watching something die when they forget to water their plant. The Farmers Market happens every Saturday 7 AM-1 PM under the pavilion at Front and G.E. Patterson.

After disappointing my troll Wednesday by telling her she couldn’t keep the Triceratops she was given, I told her she could plan our Saturday morning. I thought, there is no idea what she is going to ask to do. But she pleasantly surprised me by telling me she wants to go to the Farmers Market, then over to Clarence’s bar at Earnestine & Hazel’s, then to Max’s Sports Bar for their crawfish boil. I asked her how she became such a wise little troll, so smart in her choice of how to spend a sunny weekend day. This was her explanation:

Libby from Your Inner Yogi emailed me to let me know that the yoga studio is moving into new digs. They’re no longer at 500 S. Second and have set up shop at 10 N. Second, across from Court Square. They believe the move will allow them to offer more support and resources to bring about inner healing, better health, and overall wellness. As a resident of the Downtown core, I’m pleased that my immediate neighborhood now has walking-distance access to yoga. YOGA!

Libby is offering a 5 week beginner yoga series at Your Inner Yogi Sundays, May 7-June 4. Early bird price is $55 for the series, going up to $65 after May 3.

Although I am not a tennis fan personally, I am sad to hear that the tournament that has been known as the Memphis Open is leaving Memphis. After two consecutive years of losses, the new owners of the tournament are moving it to New York.

The slow rides are coming back to The Edge and the Memphis Medical District starting Wednesday, April 19. These are group bicycle rides through the neighborhood to discover things you would have missed traveling by car, and to get to know your neighbors. The rides are not a competition and go at a leisurely pace. Riders won’t have any trouble keeping up. They take off from 600 Monroe next to High Cotton.

Wow, really surprised that no one ever thought to buy the www.isdonricklesdead.com domain. That website would be getting a lot of traffic yesterday and today. Guess Rickles wasn’t an Internet darling the way Abe Vigoda was.

Weekend! I’ll do happy hour at Silly Goose tonight, followed by a possible trip south to Max’s Sports Bar. Back north to Blind Bear at 10 for Eric Hughes. Have a fantastic weekend!!!
