So, I said I’d be back with a noontime news update, but there really isn’t much to report. The big story of the day is that the Grizzlies play on the road tonight in what most people are calling a “must-win” vs. the L.A. Clippers. Tip-off time is a most inconvenient 9:30.<\/p>\n
The only other news today is sad. George “Goober” Lindsey, who played the Goober Pyle character on The Andy Griffith Show<\/em> and Hee Haw<\/em>, has passed away. He died in his home in Nashville this weekend. R.I.P. Goober. One of my all-time favorite TV characters.<\/p>\n The usual Monday stuff is going on. Pint Nite at the Saucer, with nearly all of their drafts $3 a pint all day. Half price wine and pizza at Spindini. Poker at the Silly Goose, with 7:30 and 10:00 games. Half-price wine and $4 sausage and cheese plate 6-9 PM at the Blind Bear.<\/p>\n I’ll probably watch the game at the Bear, although if I’m having a good time at Pint Nite at the Saucer it’s not out of the question that I’ll just stay there. Go Grizzlies, and I sure hope we have Central time zone opponents in later playoff rounds.<\/p>\n Check back… I have news of an awesome new event coming to Downtown next month. Just need to get a few more details from the organizers before I’m ready to blog it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, I said I’d be back with a noontime news update, but there really isn’t much to report.
