We need an Indian restaurant down here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had the strawberry pancakes at Bardog y&#8217;day for the first time. Really good. I could have easily eaten them without syrup. Sorry I didn&#8217;t get a pic &#8211; still figuring out uploading issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penny&#8217;s Memphis Tigers improved to 13-5 thanks to a Kendric Davis buzzer-beater for the 61-59 win over Temple. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/espn\/feature\/story\/_\/page\/bracketology\/ncaa-bracketology-2023-march-madness-men-field-predictions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ESPN Bracketology<\/a> continues to project Memphis as Last Four In.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep an eye on the forecast, because storms are likely Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Billy Joel impersonating Mick Jagger! Thanks to my friend Randy for informing me of this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='840' height='503' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VjUhRFwa6L0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, there was an exchange between Butt Slut #1 and me at Blind Bear last night that perfectly illustrates the friendship we have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>I said something INCREDIBLY vulgar to her. Has to do with a line from yesterday&#8217;s post and her being a brunette<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mutual friend: &#8220;Paulie, you crossed the line with that one&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Butt Slut #1: &#8220;No, with us there is no line&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Butt Slut #1 flipped me off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I flipped Butt Slut #1 off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Butt Slut #1 wrapped her middle finger around my middle finger and we held middle fingers for a minute<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Should I root for the Cowboys tonight in support of her? It goes against the values ingrained in me my entire life. As someone who grew up in Arkansas in the &#8217;70s and &#8217;80s, we were taught to hate all things Texas. But she is a good friend (oops, I mistyped &#8220;goof friend.&#8221; She&#8217;s that too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know where I go to celebrate holidays. See you tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let me start off by reposting that archive of Dr. King&#8217;s speeches.
