Number one, my friend Jason told me, &#8220;I saw something and had to get it for you.&#8221; It was a PBR beanie.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_0521.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-25286\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_0521.jpg?resize=375%2C500\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_0521.jpg?resize=375%2C500 375w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_0521.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_0521.jpg?resize=1200%2C1600 1200w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_0521.jpg?w=1680 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 85vw, 375px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Back in 2009, I was given a PBR hoodie. I thought, &#8220;I appreciate the gesture, but I&#8217;ve never worn a hoodie in my life. I&#8217;m not gonna use this thing.&#8221; Of course, we all know what happened. I put the hoodie on and immediately loved it, and ever since I&#8217;ve worn it half the days between November and March every year. I suspect the beanie is going to be the same way.<\/p>\n<p>The second reason yesterday was a good day was that the beanie brought me good luck&#8230; I played Bad Bear Bingo at Blind Bear last night and scored a BINGO in the second round! I got to spin the prize wheel and landed on a gift card for $10 off food. I&#8217;ll probably cash that in today toward either the shrimp scampi or the arancini.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after I bingoed, I overheard a bartender say words that were music to my ears. &#8220;We&#8217;re not having our Thursday night drag show tonight.&#8221; YAAAAAY! I stayed a couple of hours longer than planned after bingo ended. So nice to be able to watch Thursday Night Football without queens wanting to know why I&#8217;m looking at the TV and not them.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for today&#8230; hoping for another A-plus kind of day&#8230; back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.buymeacoffee.com\/1.0.0\/button.prod.min.js\" data-name=\"bmc-button\" data-slug=\"paulryburn\" data-color=\"#FF813F\" data-emoji=\"\" data-font=\"Arial\" data-text=\"Buy me a PBR\" data-outline-color=\"#000\" data-font-color=\"#fff\" data-coffee-color=\"#fd0\" ><\/script><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone in the Downtown core and South Main areas, please be on the lookout for an English cocker spaniel named Oakley.
