Wow, weird dream last night. I dreamed that I walked into a group of people, and they seemed nice and I started hanging out with them – until I realized they were a cult and were trying to indoctrinate me. I had to run for the hills – literally, in my dream there were steep hills – to get away. At the top of a hill I saw a highway overpass and knew if I could make it there, I’d be OK. I woke up before I got there though.<\/p>\n
The Grizzlies are back at home at FedExForum tonight, hosting the New Zealand Sky Sport Breakers at 7. This game will be interesting because R. J. Hampton, a top prospect from the high school graduating class of 2019, chose to play overseas professionally rather than go to college and be a one-and-done, and he is playing for New Zealand.<\/p>\n
There will be a so-called secret show<\/a> of comedy downstairs at the Downtown Local Gastropub tomorrow night at 8.

Doggy Palooza, live music, games, vendors, food, beverages. Proceeds raised will benefit the Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County.<\/p>\n Daily Memphian New Eats column: Let It Fly.<\/a> Normally I wouldn’t care about mentioning a sports bar in Germantown, but Mike Miller owns it. The Tigers assistant coach is passionate about the restaurant and is active in its management and direction.<\/p>\n That’s it for now. Off to work. Back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow, weird dream last night.
