Salutations™!!

I’m finally starting to really clear up from all my crap the last weeks. There’s definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. I talked a good bit today so I’m a bit hoarse still but that’s getting better, as well. I was able to sing a little today which has definitely been out of the question during my sick time.

Today, I had time to have lunch with my son, 3B and his girlfriend. Of course, I took them to Zesto Burgers. I don’t get to do that much any longer since he has Career Center in the afternoons, has a job and has a girlfriend. So, that was a good turn.

I have been talking with two people that I have either done a podcast with in the past or am currently doing a podcast with now and we have a big project in the works and if it materializes, we will have a big announcement coming in the new year. That’s exciting to me.

The latest of the Disney+ watches include Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and Lady and the Tramp.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Salutations™!!

Yesterday, I responded to what is not probably closer to 290 birthday wishes, be it by Facebook posts, Facebook Stories, Messenger, LinkedIn, texts and emails. I am blessed to have such great friends and family in my tribe and community. They care for me, they care about me. It’s a wonderful thing to be loved. 20191120_205349-01

Additional awesomeness from yesterday? They finished the renovations on our kitchen, laundry room and bathroom.

I got to spend about an hour and a half or two with my mother.

My friend, Algenon at Zesto Burgers & Ice Cream treated me to a fantastic birthday lunch.

My buddy David from Sunnyside Millworks, a “Lab Partner” (see what I did there?) gave me a gift certificate for Hoots Beer Co (a fave)!

Then we recorded The Less Desirables and The BCPF was our special guest. I had Danielle there, of course, and Tracy was our guest co-host and the best surprise, Bethany showed up! I had all my favorite work wives there with me.

I have closed in on the $300 fundraiser for Tourette Association of America

I love my life. I had a great start to my 49th year on the planet. Thank you to everyone involved.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Cobras or: The Things We Do

Salutations™!!

Tonight is the only Friday night game for the Carolina Cobras so I’ll be working tonight. So, you should come to watch some good, fast-paced, (usually) high-scoring, 8-on-8 football and cheer your local professional sports team on while supporting your favorite voice-over artist doing his announcing thing. 42629526_2150659531859599_3855123646586552320_n

I already told you about me being at Zesto tomorrow morning around 11a. I am still doing that, but I’m also going to emcee the Winston-Salem Yoga Festival. I just found this out like 20 minutes ago. I had something else that I was going to try and do, but it kind of fell through, and this fell into my lap. It’s from 8a-4p. Yes, you are a sharp one, 11a falls in the middle there. I’m going to leave in the middle do my other thing and then come back afterward to complete the job/mission!

So, to recap, I have Cobras tonight and Yoga Fest/Zesto tomorrow. If I don’t talk you if I see you on Sunday, it’s because my voice is mad at me. I’ll rest it, then! So, come out and see me at any or all of these events!

Cobras – Greensboro Coliseum tonight, game time is at 7p.
WS Yoga Festival is tomorrow from 8a-4p at BB&T Ballpark (the Dash park).
Zesto tomorrow at 11a, 2600 New Walkertown Road.

Hope to see you!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Now, we did all five of the TLD Network shows today. You can listen to them:

I just wanted to leave a quick (is that possible from me?) word about this town again. I know I went on a tear and ripped it a new one for traffic problems earlier this week. But, as I said on that post, I still love my city dearly and today, I saw more of why.

50877546_10100381926389302_283217702640680960_n

The collective response from businesses downtown personified. (Jim Moody by ©Jack Pennington)

There was some condescending post from someone in some official capacity that was directed at businesses downtown who are struggling that says that perhaps these business owners should take some class at the local community college to learn how to start a business or how to make their existing business better as if they don’t know how to operate a business, already. The idea was that the businesses downtown are just whining about the closure of Biz 40 and whatever.

Well, to that person who wrote that garbage, screw you, pal!

These businesses were thriving before the closure. And, I don’t blame the road closure. I blame scare tactics, whether on purpose or inadvertently from media and officials about how bad it is to be downtown now that Biz 40 is out of commission.

Granted the closure of multiple bridges all at the same time has cut a few arteries into town but you can still maneuver. Come from Peters Creek or go a little further east to Cherry or even 52 to get into town.

There are people who will complain just because they already hate the town about how bad the traffic is now that there are only a few arteries into town. Suck it up, furball, this is what progress looks like. That road was built at a time when we were just past covered wagons and it needs to accommodate 100,000 cars a week. It needed to be gone. If you already don’t want to come downtown, there’s nothing that we can tell you or do that would change your mind. We’re not looking to.

Who we are talking to is the people that have just been talked into being scared of being downtown. If you let that nonsense set in, you’re going to set this town back 15 years to what it was when no one wanted to come downtown. It will go back to being a “suburb without a city” that it was in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. You can get to it. Just give yourself 20 minutes more to get there. Be patient. We all have to go on those same roads and none of us want to traverse the traffic any more than you do, but we who love downtown for the friends (personal, interpersonal and figurative) we have grown to know. To us, it’s worth the hassle. It will be over soon.

There are plenty of downtown businesses that need your support. It’s not Biz 40s fault, it’s the naysayers. Don’t listen to them.

Tuesday I was at Finnigan’s Wake. Wednesday I was at Zesto Burgers. Yesterday, I visited Coffee Park (Arts), Zesto Burgers (no, it’s not downtown but it’s independently owned in town).  Today, I went to Footnote Coffee at Foothills, West End Coffeehouse, and Mr. Barbecue. What businesses did you support this week? The ones you did visit, they appreciate it and I appreciate it because when you support them, they’re there when I want/need to go there.

I know all of that is food/beverage related and The BCPF and I going to Xcaret tonight with friends downtown, but it’s not all about food places. Retail, services and other industry downtown need your support. They support each other but they need you.

The camaraderie between the “allies” and businesses downtown has made me smile and it’s uplifting in a somewhat troubling time.

If you’ve not been downtown WSNC (or close proximity to it) lately, take a bit of time to go explore. You may find that it’s not as difficult to traverse as you’ve thought/been told. Andy, you may find some really cool things you didn’t know was there. Tomorrow is Saturday, take a drive, shop, support, enjoy!

Second time this week that my soapbox has been out from under the bed. I apologize, or really sorry (not sorry). And, I know, too, that it was not quick. Sorry (not sorry) for that, too!

Until tomorrow, where I’ll hopefully see you out and about…
Scorp out!

I flew solo today on The Man Who Ate the Town podcast and talked a little food news and a little food views, too. I talked about Earl’s, two different restaurants with “Crab” in their name, and I reviewed Zesto Burgers and Ice Cream among other things. I also wrote a separate post today about that. Did I like it? You’ll have to read it for yourself. You can do that HERE. To hear the episode, go HERE.

Food, yeah!

Until tomorrow, keep eating!
