Which I was. It’s going to happen again today, and Saturdays to come. I want to explain so people don’t worry.<\/p>\nPreviously, I had been leading off at Blind Bear at 11, then waiting for my friends Randy and Theresa to text me “We’re at Bardog” around 1 and then I’d tab out and walk over.<\/p>\nHowever, a friend of ours (who has now been mentioned in this blog for a THIRD time this week! She’s getting famous!) recently got a new job, with her work hours starting at 2 on Saturday and it’s a 40-minute drive from Downtown. So, she’s only available to hang out with us at Bardog from 11 to about 1:20. We agreed to move our Bardog meet time to 11. Hence, I’m no longer leading off at the Bear.<\/p>\nI do plan to be there later today, though. Back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n<script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/storage.ko-fi.com\/cdn\/widget\/Widget_2.js'><\/script><script type='text\/javascript'>kofiwidget2.init('Tip Jar', '#29abe0', 'B0B57GDFG');kofiwidget2.draw();<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Only in Memphis will you see a Honda Civic used to haul scrap metal.
