I don’t have a good feeling about this. I’d probably be well-advised to stay home all day. That’s not gonna happen though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First Jeff Beck died, then Lisa Marie Presley. These things usually happen in threes. I wonder if #3 will happen today and who it will be. I hope it’s not another Yardbirds guitarist (Clapton, Page).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cerrito Trivia announced a new venue<\/a> yesterday. They’ll be at Longshot every Thursday. Where else can you play trivia and shuffleboard at the same time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Grizzlies have announced the lineup of events<\/a> for Monday’s MLK Day game. Former basketball players Nancy Lieberman, Gary Payton, and Luol Deng will be honored at the celebration, as will current Tennessee State football coach Eddie George.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I always try to read something by Dr. King – a speech or essay – over MLK Day weekend. Here’s an archive<\/a> if you want to do so, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ESPN reports that Triple-A Minor League Baseball games, including games the Redbirds play, will have an electronic strike zone this coming season. No more home plate umps who are blind as bats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Blues City Cafe will be closed Tuesday night for their company Christmas party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s National Rubber Ducky Day<\/a>. Get one at the Peabody gift shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A city councilman says we need big ideas<\/a> to curb Downtown crime. Interesting… Blue Suede Brigade will add a night shift. That should help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The DM has a report <\/a>on the DMC’s State of Downtown address this week. Service industry: You may soon qualify for a $30 Downtown parking pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Main St. trolleys can’t cross Monroe because of that pipe I mentioned in yesterday’s post. You have to get off, step over the pipe, and get on another trolley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Free admission<\/a> to the National Civil Rights Museum on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All right. That’ll do it. Stepping out into this world to face Friday the 13th head-on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don’t have a good feeling about this.
