This weekend will be a big first for Nashville. We are hosting a Mixed Martial Arts competition and it will be broadcast live on CBS. There has been a lot of hoopla downtown with the fighters here. They are having press conferences and public appearances at all the downtown clubs. I’m not a big fan of any kind of fighting, so I’m not planning on going to the fights. There are a lot of guys from the office who have tickets and are going to make a big night of it. Oh well, I’ve got plenty of other things to keep my attention.
Don’t Call it a Sandwich
There’s a new menu item at Taco Bell – the tortada. I wonder if the real Mexicans have ever heard of a tortada? I have been told that the real Mexicans get a big laugh at Taco Bell representing themselves as serving Mexican food. The new commercials make the tortada look like a sandwich made on one of the press machines that seal the edges around a filling. If they are not too expensive I’d like to give them a try.
Can’t Sleep
Usually I am fast asleep by the time Craig Ferguson comes on the air, or at the latest I’m asleep right after his monologue. I love the Craig Ferguson show, but it comes on so late, that I just cannot stay awake long enough to watch the whole show. But tonight I am wide awake – and Craig Ferguson is not on over the weekends. Darn the luck!
