Today is Sweet Potato Day<\/a>. Cheers to my friend Billy from Vardaman, Mississippi, considered the sweet potato capital of the world. The main thoroughfare in Vardaman is called \u201cWest Sweet Potato Street\u201d west of Main Street and \u201cEast Sweet Potato Avenue\u201d east of it.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

LeBron James acknowledged the potential<\/a> of Memphis Grizzlies rookie GG Jackson. LeBron apparently kept a watch on GG long before he got to the NBA.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Grizzlies are back on the road tonight, taking on the Detroit Pistons at 6 PM. TV: Bally Sports. Memphis is mathematically eliminated from the NBA playoffs, so this game doesn\u2019t matter much.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tennessee has now been in 26 NCAA tournaments without ever making a Final Four. LOSERS<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

UConn, Alabama, Purdue, and NC State are the 2024 NCAA men\u2019s Final Four. NC State made it as an 11 seed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Iowa-LSU women\u2019s Elite Eight game is at 6 tonight on ESPN tonight at 6. Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese. That should be a good one. Reese should consider joining the WWE at some point in the future: She\u2019s got great facial expressions and a personality that would work as a face (fan favorite) or a heel (rulebreaker). She and Bianca Belair would make an awesome tag team. She already does John Cena\u2019s \u201cyou can\u2019t see me\u201d gesture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Keep an eye on the weather. Storms are set to move through overnight and into the Tuesday morning rush hour. Fox 13 predicts a high of 78 today and 80 tomorrow but only 59 Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Winfield\u2019s clothing store at Main and Madison is having a sale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Stop by and get you some rock star clothes. Carl Winfield doesn\u2019t just sell clothes that look like what rock stars would wear. He sells clothes to rock stars<\/strong>. Robert Plant is known to stop by the store whenever he\u2019s in town.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Davinci (or Davinchi, I\u2019ve seen it spelled both ways) Restaurant and Lounge<\/a> has opened in the former Pearl\u2019s Oyster House space at S. Main and Pontotoc. Looks like they\u2019re keeping the seafood theme but transitioning it into more of a fine dining experience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A cappella country group Home Free<\/a> comes to the Cannon Center Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Red Deluxe seeks a Senior Creative Advertising Manager<\/a> for Amazon Studios Marketing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I got back to the Union Mission just in time for dinner last night. We had Easter ham piled high on our trays, corn, cabbage cooked with red peppers and pork, a roll, and Oreos. Grateful to the Mission and the church that came out to volunteer.<\/p>\r\n

I may or may not post tomorrow, depending on the weather. I don\u2019t want to get soaked and blown away trying to get to Wi-Fi. Back no later than Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
