Can you tell from my recent posts that I have considerably more zest for life than I did a few months ago?<\/p>\n
Back in December, I was deeply depressed because my phone and laptop had been stolen. That made it nearly impossible for me to express myself creatively and stay in contact with my friends. I had to rely on the computers at the public library. But due to the contrast between the library\u2019s hours and the Union Mission\u2019s hours, I could either write my blog or get in free to the Mission on any given day, but not both. That\u2019s why there were weeks when I made only 2-3 posts, and they were short. I hated that. I love writing for all of you.<\/p>\n
My phone and computer have been replaced, and I\u2019m back to 6-7 posts a week, many of them in the 400-word range as opposed to 100.<\/p>\n
So, yeah, my zest for life is back. With that zest, though, comes a new source of frustration.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll continue in a future post\u2026 but now\u2026 ON TO THE NEWS\u2026<\/p>\n
The Grizzlies are back in action at Oklahoma City tonight at 7 PM. TV: FanDuel Sports Network and locally on Action News 5<\/p>\n
There are a couple of pretty cool Grizzlies giveaways on back-to-back nights next week:<\/p>\n
Monday, March 31 – 6:30 tip vs. Boston – free Grizzlies 30th anniversary watch to the first 5000. I can\u2019t recall the Grizzlies ever giving away a watch before.<\/p>\n
Tuesday, April 1 – 7:00 tip vs. Golden State – free Jaren Jackson Jr. hoodie to the first 3000 fans. Awesome free gift, wrong time of year? \u2026Seems like a hoodie giveaway would be more appropriate in November.<\/p>\n
