You–yes, you—read this Pulse!
I have discovered some books in one of the Pulse’s racks, some anti-capitalist (and, to be fair, anti-socialist, as well) literature. Just letting you know I received them, and will review and report in the near future on the specific type of utopian society they propose.
People come and people go. Ain’t it funny—not funny comical, but funny as in making one think in a very deep and grateful way—how the cast of characters changes. We are without some of the folks from 20, 10, and even 2 years ago, but the world now has so many new individuals. Time slips away, time marches on.
You can’t do it all. Do what you enjoy.
Who has been enjoying the NHL playoffs? It’s wonderful, like Christmas, for eight weeks!
Maybe the Preds will get back in the action next year, but the Stanley Cup Playoffs still have some great story lines and physicality. The Bruins, who just put together the best regular season in NHL history, and Avalanche, who won the cup in 2022, were both taken to seven games in the first round (and both went down).
Someone build an ice rink in Murfreesboro, please! I have said for a decade that’s the one thing this town needs. I don’t care about a Trader Joe’s or In-N-Out Burger or Costco. Give us some ice!
Legacy Sports says ice is coming to Murfreesboro in 2024. I am ready.
Despite reports of financial and sponsorship challenges in Arizona, Legacy does have its massive sports complex out there up and running. We shall see.
In the meantime, there’s plenty of Tennessee hiking to do. We Mayos enjoy the outdoors when we can.
A few hours in the woods can make the next four days sitting at a computer, preparing this here Pulse for you all, a little more tolerable. I do find the information interesting, and discover many things we want to do ourselves from the Pulse, but it takes a lot of preparation and attention to detail, as well as communication with a lot of different people, to produce each issue. Enjoy! I hope I didn’t leave anything out. Send me your material for June now.
Thanks to all of the sponsors.
Get a porch rocker for your mama for Mother’s Day over at Thor’s (go ahead and get a pair so you have one to give for Father’s Day, too), grab some doughnuts over at Donut Country, get your asphalt driveway sealed and repaired with Top Coat, visit the kitties over at Catfeine, patronize the farmer’s markets launching this month, exercise at Avalon (present the Avalon ad found in this edition of the Pulse for free day at the fitness club), buy some video games and comics at The Great Escape, get something pierced at Au Chantae, snag a coffee or bubble tea from Overflow on the Square, ride the mechanical bull over at Seasons of Murfreesboro . . . woo-hoo! What a day that would be; I want to come along.
Go see Grady over at F&M Bank—a friend to me, the Pulse, and the local small business and art communities—and he will hook you up with a credit card that doesn’t require paying interest on any of that stuff for 18 months! (Use wisely, but that can be a useful tool for the financially savvy). F&M also has the best CD rates in town. You heard it from the Pulse.
Head back over to Seasons on May 27 for a special Dewdrop Jamboree installment there.
Immerse yourself in the perpetual velocity and thunderous momentum of Everybody Drum Some, returning to Old Fort Park on May 19.
The Boro BBQ Festival returns on May 13. It was an excellent event last year, and I expect the same in 2023 on the grounds of Oaklands Mansion.
Enjoy your month.
