The annual Memphis Holiday Parade has been announced for Saturday, December 1, on Beale Street at 4 PM. Of course I WILL BE THERE watching the parade outside the King’s Palace Tap Room as I have for years. That will be a busy day, with the St. Jude marathon in the morning, the Tigers hosting Texas Tech at 1:30, the holiday parade, the SEC Championship on TV, and Stumbling Santa. I haven’t seen the official announcement for Stumbling Santa yet but it traditionally happens the first Saturday of December.

The guy who randomly blocks me and unblocks me did it again this week. I would love to know what he gets out of doing that.
Man, the Daily Memphian is so good. I had a great time reading sports writer Chris Herrington’s responses to his mailbag this morning. If any of my readers are on the fence about subscribing, I have found it to be absolutely worth the $7 a month fee. Besides, when you subscribe you get a month for free, so if you find it to not be worth it you can always cancel before the end of your first month.
All right, time to do a little grocery shopping. Back tomorrow with more news.
