I had to take a personal day, both from work and from the blog. I&#8217;d rather not go into the reason why.<\/p>\n<p>But never mind that, because I have a happy note with which to start this post: Congratulations to my friends Lee and Lisa, who got married yesterday evening at a resort about 30 minutes outside Cancun. Lee lived in Memphis from 2006ish to 2010 when his job transferred him to another cities. He is one of the most solid guys I have ever known in my life &#8211; always someone I could turn to for great advice. Lisa is his high school sweetheart. I wish you many, many happy years together.<\/p>\n<p><i>Independence Day<\/i> is the free movie being shown on the big screen at Beale Street Landing this evening. The show starts at 8:30.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hot Rods on Beale&#8221; happens tonight starting at 6 PM.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s dollar King Cotton hot dog night at the Redbirds. The Oklahoma City Dodgers are the opponent and first pitch is 7:05.<\/p>\n<p>Are you proud to be an American? Show your knowledge of our great nation tomorrow night at 7 at America trivia with Kevin Cerrito at Tap &amp; Tamp. Some great prizes are up for grabs.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time ever, Elvis Week will include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/memphis\/news\/2015\/06\/29\/elvis-week-schedule-includes-stamp-unveiling.html\">a tutorial<\/a> on the King and his impact on popular culture.<\/p>\n<p>Venus and Jupiter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iflscience.com\/space\/venus-and-jupiter-will-meet-tomorrow-night\">will appear to merge and form a double star<\/a> tonight. Some think this was the Star of Bethlehem that was seen around 32 BC.<\/p>\n<p>So, anyway, about my personal day yesterday&#8230; Sometimes it&#8217;s nice to have a bar around the corner that opens super early. Usually I&#8217;m not a fan of ordering my first beer at 8:54 in the morning, but yesterday it was much needed. The Today Show was on at Bardog and as the clock moved into the 10:00 hour we got &#8220;The Scoop with Kathie Lee and Hoda.&#8221; As I watched, I thought to myself, how in the world do people watch this show WITHOUT drinking? It was awful. Man, if I were a housewife, I&#8217;d probably need several handles of vodka a week to get through that show.<\/p>\n<p>Possibly the most important match of the entire Women&#8217;s World Cup happens tonight: USA vs. Germany at 6 PM Central time. Mashable has <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2015\/06\/30\/usa-germany-womens-world-cup-semifinal\/\">a preview of the match<\/a>. I can think of no better place to watch than Max&#8217;s Sports Bar, so I will head that way after work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry for no post yesterday.
