Walkin' in Memphis
28 Comments Published by Jason on Tuesday, July 18, 2006 at 7/18/2006 12:06:00 PM.
It took us a week, but we're settled in nicely now in Memphis. Unloading the moving truck proved to be the easiest part of moving. Of course, it helped that we moved into a first-floor apartment and that we didn't have any big furniture to move (we sold our leviathan couch before we moved.) Unpacking took quite an effort, though. I don't know how many times I opened a box and thought, "I didn't know we had one of these." Fortunately for me, since I'm a man, I'm not too particular about where things go, and I have no real sense of interior design, Janet limited my unpacking duties to books and the office/spare bedroom. Trying to arrange the kitchen would've been akin to touching the Ark of the Covenant.
Last Tuesday we bought a sofa and a chair. I learned that furniture shopping, like clothes shopping or grocery shopping, is something that requires considerably more time and consideration once you're married. In fact, our search for a sofa was actually discussed at the G-8 Summit. When I moved to Austin, I went to three stores in approximately thirty minutes before I bought my couch. (My thinking was that I might as well buy a cheap couch because whenever I got married, my wife would surely want to get rid of it. And I was right!) After looking in two stores with some rather paltry selections, we went to Haverty's, where they did, in fact, have exactly the couch/chair combo we were looking for. Well, almost. They only had the couch and chair in baby blue. If we were looking to furnish a beach house or we were diehard UNC fans, then the furniture would've been fantastic. They offered several other colors, though, so we figured we could just order the furniture and they would have it in a week. Try eight weeks. Eight weeks! You could build several couches from scratch in that time! So it was on to another store.
I was skeptical of the next store because of its name--Value City--but Janet figured it wouldn't hurt to check. As it turned out, they actually carried a line of furniture that Janet had seen online but whose stores are only in Nashville. At last, we purchased our furniture--a deep red sofa and a tan chair. (I managed to dissuade Janet from an ottoman.)
The rest of the week we did a little exploring and searched for some necessities--a good Chinese restaurant, a coffee house, a good Mexican restaurant (we're still looking for one of those, and we may never find one), a movie theater, etc.
On Sunday, we began our search for a church home. Being that we're in the Bible belt, there's no shortage of choices. Although we have preferences about size, worship style, etc., we mostly want a church where we can be active members among the community, not just a number. We attended Grace Crossing on Sunday. The people were extremely welcoming, and there are some folks our age there (a few Harding grads), which are certainly positives. I'm sure we'll check out a few more congregations, but GC seems like a place where we could be useful.
This week we're slowly beginning the transition into our new jobs. Janet and I taking her supplies to her new school this afternoon, and she's going to meet a bit with the principal. At some point, I'll make a trip to Harding Academy. I'm going to stop talking about work now since it somewhat ruins my state of summer bliss.

Hey-
If you're ever at Grace Crossing and meet a couple in their late 40's/early 50's named A(ndy) and E(laine) Ellis, they're my (2nd?) cousins on my mom's side. They're good people.
I'll keep a look out for them.
This has nothing to do with your post, but that's not to say that it wasn't a nice post (I extend heartfelt agreement on the difference in Married Shopping vs. Single Shopping).
A friend of mine wants you to explain what's so great about _Absalom, Absalom!_ to her. Even after we "studied" it this summer, we're both still clueless... (I know, I know, it's a shame.) So anyway, if you have a chance... you know my email address. Of course, it might make an interesting blog... (probably controversial - we're surely not the only Faulkner despisers out there...)
Grace Crossing is AWESOME!
So you take Jason A's job and now you're visiting his church. What a copycat you are. Too bad we already shipped our couch to NYC.
Yeah, it was funny when we visitetd GC. People asked me where I'd be working, and when I'd tell them Harding Academy, they'd say, "Oh, our interim preacher who's moving to New York, Jason Ashlock, taught there." When I'd tell them I was taking his teaching position, they'd ask, "Do you do any preaching?"
How long did Jason preach there?
Hi Jason & Janet, hope you are loving Memphis. Janet, how is your job? Jason, I know you are loving yours! I'm glad we got to visit with you for breakfast on our way to NC.

Everything about horse betting
We came across an article on ESPN.com written by Bill Finley entitled "2005 was a lousy year for horse racing." In his article Mr. Finley cites 9 reasons why 2005 was such a bad year for horse racing in America. Although we agree with several of his observations, number 8 on his list, "U.S. Pari-Mutuel Handle Falls", should have been dealt with more objectively.

There are however many controversies surrounding the horse industry. During races, some jockeys use a crop to hit the horse in the rump to direct their effort and possibly run faster. Based on the most detailed statistical study of whipping ever carried out, it is actually counterproductive and slows the horse down causing them to become distracted and dangerously go off course.
What makes this event so difficult to win? Several factors have to be considered. First there's the age of the horses. Triple Crown races are limited to 3 year olds, juveniles, all of whom officially have their birthday on January 1st of each year. By the first Saturday in May (the running of the Kentucky Derby), though most of the contestants will have actually reached their third birthday, they won't realize their full growth and potential until their fourth or fifth years.

Brother Derek with Alex Solis up finished in a dead heat for fourth in the Derby, 9 1/2 lengths back after being steadied twice. With a career record of 6 wins out of 9 starts (3 out of 4 this year) Brother Derek had 4 straight wins before the Derby.
My final selection, and surely few will question this one, is a certain Dennis Law. 'The King' or the 'Lawman' as he was affectionately known played for Manchester United between 1962 and 1973. During that time he played for United a total of 409 times, scoring an impressive 237 goals. Law won European Footballer of the year in 1965, during a season in which he top-scored for Manchester Utd with 28 and helped them to win their first league title since Munich.. manchester united [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]man utd vs[/url] Manchester United was established in 1878 as the Newton Heath Football Club, which served as the works team of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot. The club nearly went bankrupt in 1902 but was saved by J.H. Davies who subsequently re-named the team as Manchester United. During World War II, the Old Trafford Football Ground was severely bombed, leaving United without a stadium. They had to seek the assistance of their then more illustrious neighbours, Manchester City, and both teams shared Maine Road as their home stadium for some time. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]vidic[/url] Back in the Newton Heath era, the kits were made up of yellow and green stitched sections (1878 - 1892), and looked a bit like a jockey's silks. Some additional colour schemes were also employed such as a red and white shirt (1892-1894) paired with blue shorts. This all changed in 1902 when the club changed its name to Manchester United, the club radically altered the kit colours to red shirts, white shorts and black socks. This colour palette has been the foundation of the home strip ever since. The away strip is white jerseys, black shorts and white socks however different looks to this strip have existed. The most notorious of these was the all-grey strip employed in the 1995-1996 campaign. The club did not win a single game when sporting the grey shirts. The team were vociferous in their claims that the drab colour meant they had difficulty seeing their team-mates, hence passes were being sprayed all over the pitch! Another variation was the all-black kit used in 1994 and 2003. There is also a "Third Strip". This shirt which is not often used, is an homage to the kit worn when the club won the 1968 European Cup. The team has occasionally used the strips employed for training sessions in actual matches although this has been a rare occurence.
10.) Try making friends at different online bingo sites. You can always receive useful advice and lean more game techniques through such online bingo friends.

In case there are others who shouted at the same time as you, the prize will be shared among all winners.
