what's going on this weekend?

I hope you'll spend Friday and/or Saturday relaxing in the spent posture of a sated lion.

Like that phrase? I got it from "Gentlemen Behaving Badly," a new romance novel Brog put on my desk this morning. Which means it's probably time to start up the "read and reap" feature on this blog again.

Anyway, here's your weekend lineup. I'll be at the Catfish game Saturday with that crazy little bitch Bailey Michelle (my dog). Good times. I'm also going to try to hit up a new Phenix City hot spot, The L&M Lounge. Apparently, it's at 501 Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway, South, but don't trust that address entirely since I got it from the minutes of a city council meeting.
