Yesterday I received a pleasant surprise: a notification that people are already paying their dues for 2018! Teammates, if you want to pay, the PayPal form is on the <a href=\"http:\/\/moodyques.com\/\">team website<\/a> (right sidebar on web, bottom of the page on mobile). If you don&#8217;t wish to pay by PayPal, email us (moodyques@gmail.com) and we can make arrangements for you to pay by cash or check. If any of my readers are interested in joining the Moody Ques, feel free to inquire &#8211; it&#8217;s possible we may have open spots.<\/p>\n<p>I doubt there are many royal-watchers on BBQ teams, but Prince Harry is going to get married on Saturday of BBQ Fest next year.<\/p>\n<p>Traffic alert: From tomorrow at 5 AM to Monday at 5 AM, two lanes will be closed on I-40 from Danny Thomas to the river bridge for repairs to the bridge over Second and B.B.

As much lying as I&#8217;ve encountered the past few years, I have little reason to believe them.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s been some discussion about what the outcome of the Alabama Senate race means in Tennessee. I tell you one thing, Phil Bredesen ought to start organizing town halls where he speaks with black women and asks them, &#8220;What are your most important concerns about government? How can I amplify your voice in Washington?&#8221; And really LISTEN to them and plan to TAKE ACTION based on their advice, not just patronize them and use them as Trump does white evangelicals. Because that&#8217;s a group that has not been properly been represented in Congress since&#8230; well, ever.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing that Jared Kushner may find some criminal charges under his Christmas tree. Wait, he&#8217;s Jewish. Anyway, you get my point.<\/p>\n<p>Weekend! Two, possibly three holiday parties to attend.
