Hey, everyone, if you’ve ever thought about tipping me using one of the methods in the footer, now would be a time when it would especially help me out. I’m down to my last three dollars. I haven’t slept since Friday night. Thanks in advance for any tips you can spare.<\/p>\n
It’s National White Wine Day. Celebrate by going to Rootstock Wine Merchants<\/a> in The Edge. Talk to the staff about what you like and let them pick out some bottles for you.<\/p>\n It’s also the first day of school for MSCS kids. Some schools are requiring clear lunchboxes. I remember how proud I was of my Snoopy lunchbox the first day of kindergarten. Kids today won’t be able to feel that pride.<\/p>\n When I was in 8th grade, there was a blond 7th grader who carried a big black metal lunchbox that looked like it belonged in his father’s tool shed. It only took one day for the name Ben “Lunch Pail” Wilson to stick. I guess the 2025-26 class won’t have a Lunch Pail.<\/p>\n Donk Toss<\/a>, a sport played on ESPN8: The Ocho this past weekend, is an improvement over traditional cornhole. Instead of bean bags, you toss cute stuffed donkeys, scoring points based on the position in which they land.<\/p>\n This is the last day of the year to catch an 8 PM sunset in Memphis.<\/p>\n A study has found that our fair city has the most dangerous morning commutes<\/a> in the U.S.<\/p>\n The FedEx-St. Jude Classic golf tournament is at TPC Southwind this weekend. It’s the first round of pro golf’s playoffs, with the top 50 in points for the season after this event advancing to the second round. Here’s a list of who has qualified<\/a> for the FESJC. The only qualifier who isn’t coming is Rory McIlroy. If you’re not attending the event live, I recommend watching it in the air-conditioned comfort of Downtown golf bar Birdie’s<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kinda surprised there are only 2 NFL games scheduled for Sunday: Miami at Chicago (noon) and New Orleans at L.A. Chargers (3:00). The rest of the slate is set for earlier in the weekend since there is not yet any college football to take those time slots.<\/p>\n RIP Loni Anderson.<\/a> She played station receptionist Jennifer on WKRP in Cincinnati, a character considerably smarter than her boss Mr. Carlson. Anderson was 79.<\/p>\n This morning about 7, I was walking down the Main Street Mall when a cop pulled up next to me and rolled down his window. Uh oh. That’s usually not a good position for a homeless person to be in. Was he going to invent some BS reason to take me on my first-ever trip to 201? I braced myself for what he might say.<\/p>\n He said, “Sausage biscuit from McDonald’s?” and held one out to me.<\/p>\n That got the morning off to a great start! Know how some people believe the world is conspiring against them? Encounters like that one lead me to believe the world is conspiring IN MY FAVOR!!!<\/p>\n Back tomorrow. Again, any tips are especially appreciated right now.<\/p>\n I gratefully accept tips:<\/strong><\/em> Hey, everyone, if you’ve ever thought about tipping me using one of the methods in the footer, now would be a time when it would especially help me out.
