We’ve got a Friday night coming up, but I can’t see much incentive to get out in temperatures that may drop into the single digits… hmmm… just took a look at the DowntownMemphis.com calendar for today<\/a>. If you’re going to get out in this weather, my recommendation would be the opening of Local, the new gastropub in the old Sauces location. The Nuh-Uh Girl has been asking people all week, in person and on Twitter, if anyone is going, because she’s not one to pass up an opportunity for food.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, you can look at the calendar and figure it out for yourself… if you like MMA, there’s an event tonight at the New Daisy. Grizzlies host the Utah Jazz at the FedExForum at 7.<\/p>\n

Unless something compelling comes up, I may just stay home with the netbook and play poker… thanks to Air Traffic Mike’s recommendation, I’m starting to get into Omaha Hi\/Lo. Seems like a good game, with less need for bluffing than Hold’em, and more bad players at the tables because there’s less literature out there on Omaha.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t been for Bardog for breakfast (they open at 8 on weekdays now), check out this post on the I Love Memphis blog<\/a>. It’s round 7 of the Breakfast brackets, and Bardog handily defeated CK’s. The bacon and the scrambled eggs got especially high marks, and the breakfast was also rated a good value for the money. Of course, the service at Bardog is always outstanding.<\/p>\n

There’s a 5K taking place tomorrow between 4 and 6:30 PM, so allow for extra driving time if you’re traveling in or out of Downtown during those hours.<\/p>\n

Hmmm I was just about to type congratulations to Alabama for their win last night, and in comes an e-mail from regular blog reader Moody asking why I haven’t bothered to say anything about the Tide, considering I blog about other SEC teams like Arkansas.\u00a0 Fine then, Roll Tide.\u00a0 Happy now?<\/p>\n

Eating an antipasto salad from Blimpie as I type this… my health guru would be proud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
