The goats are from 901 Goats<\/a>, a farm in Fayette County. The one Jessica is holding is about 4 weeks old. The goats on leashes are 10-11 months. Their caretakers were feeding them Cheerios.<\/p>\n

The goats can be booked for goat yoga classes – at your place – for around $600, I’m told. We’re talking about getting a group together. If we got 30 people that’d be only $20 each.<\/p>\n

My thoughts on this week’s schedule, summed up in one photo?<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n
More teams playing cream puff opponents than we’ve seen since Week 3. I guess this is a safety valve adopted by many teams to ensure that 6th win – and bowl eligibility. Although, it looks like a few teams may get waivers to sneak into a bowl with a 5-7 record this year.<\/p>\n
Today is National Zinfandel Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n
New Ballet Ensemble School’s NutRemix<\/a> comes to the Cannon Center this weekend. Imagine The Nutcracker, but on Beale Street.<\/p>\n
Cheers to my friend Bill who moves to Illinois today. It’s been a pleasure hanging out with you in Downtown Memphis, sir. Please come back and visit.<\/p>\n
Experimenting with NOISY and CRATE as my starter words in Wordle. Results are pretty good so far.<\/p>\n
Hmmm. LOUSY and IRATE might be even better…<\/p>\n
The MOXY Memphis hotel is organizing a New Year’s Eve bar crawl<\/a>. I normally hate NYE but this is not a bad list of stops. NYE is on a Sunday this year. Note that you’d be back at the hotel partying with fellow pub crawlers rather than a bunch of random drunk yahoos at midnight.<\/p>\n
Any locals been to Bar Moxy in the hotel? Is it worth checking out on a normal, non-holiday evening? The hotel promotes it like it’s a destination for non-guests.<\/p>\n
The Grizzlies lost to the L.A. Lakers last night, effectively reducing Memphis’ chance of winning the NBA in-season tournament to zero. Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard went down to injuries. The Grizzlies drop to 2-9. Is it too early to consider tanking for the season?<\/p>\n
Bishop, the French restaurant in Central Station Hotel, seeks a sous chef<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Not Downtown but worth a Lyft or Uber: Pho pop-up event this Sunday<\/a><\/p>\n
507 Lux Lounge, in the basement of Curry N Jerk at 150 Monroe, will host Cocktails & Conversations<\/a> tonight at 7. This is a place for adult topics we’re usually conditioned to avoid. Tonight’s topic: How do we reach our youth?<\/p>\n
Texan Marcia Bell<\/a> comes to the Halloran Centre this Saturday. Tickets are $39.50.<\/p>\n
A bridal & wedding expo<\/a> comes to the Renasant Convention Center Sunday.<\/p>\n
Fish & chips and a fried pork chop sandwich are the specials today at Bardog.<\/p>\n
That’s it for now. Back tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
An anonymous person arranged for baby goats for Jess to hang out with prior to the start of her shift. The goats are from 901 Goats, a farm in Fayette County. The one Jessica is holding is about 4 weeks old. The goats on leashes are 10-11 months. Their caretakers were feeding them Cheerios.
