\"\" — Brick at Silly Goose poker night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
I have a food recommendation, and unfortunately I didn’t take a pic… the sliders at the Silly Goose. I had them last night after poker, and they were really good, topped with some kind of pepper relish. Those may be the best sliders I have had Downtown, and that’s saying a lot. I may go back and get them again tonight. If I do, I’ll try to get pictures.<\/p>\n
Another loss at poker last night. Not that I ever expect to win, considering that the game starts at 10, about four hours after I start drinking beer at the Saucer’s Pint Nite. I don’t exactly bring my A-game to the Goose. Brick outlasted me, and she was actually playing very well. Made me wonder if she’s been reading the Harrington on Hold’em<\/em> series, although last I heard she was still having trouble making her way through *Pat the Bunny<\/em>.<\/p>\n*

*For the Grizzlies to move up in Western Conference playoff contention, two things have to happen:<\/p>\n*
\n
The Grizzlies have to win games<\/li>\n
The teams above the Grizzlies in the standings have to lose<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Now, obviously we should root for the Grizz, but who else should we root for? There’s a Twitter account named @WhoDoGrizzRoot4. They will tweet what other teams to root for if you want to see the Grizzlies’ standing improve.<\/p>\n
In the news: Two people have been charged in the Peabody Place parking garage wreck Sunday morning.<\/a> The driver of a Hummer slammed into the back of a parked Impala so hard that it smashed through a second-floor brick wall and fell to the concrete below. The driver has been charged with DUI and various other counts.<\/p>\n
Also in the news: A worker at the Downtown First Tennessee location was stabbed in the chest with scissors.<\/a> Wow. Sometimes people at banks tell you things you don’t want to hear, but no need to get all stabby, now.<\/p>\n
That’s all for now… coming tonight, a post about a fabulous gala to be held in early March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
