It had been two years since I had been in the Grind House. I was SO excited that my Elvis trip (the opening of the Guest House at Graceland) coincided with the first two Grizzlies home games – well it did because I came in a day early and stayed a day late. I got to witness the Grizzlies win [continue reading]
I’ve never been more proud of a team. Most people don’t like the NBA because they think it’s all about showboating, so it’s boring to watch. Well not my Memphis Grizzlies. They live their motto ALL HEART Grit and Grind. The Grizzlies have always been the underdog, but have [continue reading]

The Grizzlies did what they always do, grit and grind [continue reading]

We had about 7 inches of snow with some ice mixed in, but I made it to the Verizon Center in DC. We arrived at the Green Turtle at [continue reading]
