This weekend I was sitting at the bar at Calhoun’s, watching football.\u00a0 Two people not far down the bar from me were having a conversation about a friend of one of theirs who was Indian.<\/p>\n
“Wait,” the other person said.\u00a0 “Do you mean ‘Indian’ [making gesture to indicate feathers on top of head], or ‘Indian’ [making dot-on-forehead gesture]”?<\/p>\n
Not very politically correct.\u00a0 Damn funny though.<\/p>\n
Another guest speaker has been added to tomorrow night’s South Main Association meeting at the Westin Hotel: Coach Marc Iavaroni of the Memphis Grizzlies.\u00a0 Should be good to hear his plans for the coming year.\u00a0 Meeting starts at 6 PM, free for SMA members, $5 for non-members.<\/p>\n
Yet another restaurant is running specials to try and attract Monday Night Football business.\u00a0 Big Foot Lodge is offering $2 34 oz. Super Cold Coors Light drafts during the game, as well as $3 Blue Kamikazes, $4 100 proof 1800 Tequila, and 24 wings for $9.99 (dine-in only).\u00a0 Plus Meghan’s wonderful personality as a free bonus if you sit at the bar.<\/p>\n
In the news this morning:\u00a0 City Schools Superintendent Kriner Cash wants to hire a couple thousand college tutors at $10 an hour to help MCS students get up to grade level in various subjects.\u00a0 Dr. Cash sees it as not only a way to help students catch up on their studies, but to provide them with older role models who are committed to education.\u00a0 Great idea.\u00a0 I like this guy.<\/p>\n
Time to head to work.\u00a0 I like my job, but if you don’t like yours I rolled out a new website over the weekend called The Rat Race<\/a> which can help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This weekend I was sitting at the bar at Calhoun’s, watching football.\u00a0 Two people not far down the bar from me were having a conversation about a friend of one of theirs who was Indian. “Wait,” the other person said.\u00a0 “Do you mean ‘Indian’ [making gesture to indicate feathers on top of head], or ‘Indian’ … Continue reading “Mon update: Non-PC comment, coach to speak to SMA, another football special, MCS to hire tutors, and more”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2525"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2525\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
