Pick two. Any two. Includes your choices of side dishes, I’d recommend a salad with Ranch dressing. Plus some fried okra. And free Wifi.
1. BBQ. With Gemini Sean Bubba and that Aries. I hope she’s an Aries.
1. I was poking along on the hike and bike trail, cell phone stuck in my ear, chatting up a client (just arranging a reading, really), and a nasty bicyclist passed me, hollering, “[b]BIKE ON YOUR LEFT![/b]” Irritated me as he was unconscionably loud. Pedestrians have the right of way, phone or not. So as I was coming out the post office parking lot, a big Chevy truck was crowding me. I was about to do something evil, to assert my right-of-way, when I noticed the sticker: Fish tremble at the sound of my name. The more I thought about it, the more I chuckled. I don’t need a sticker on my truck making such a claim.
1. I was chatting with a buddy not named Bubba while I was idling along the hike and bike trail, “Oh yeah, dude. Dude. How much would you charge to do a wedding?”
I laughed, then I gleefully pointed out that a wedding service, performed by the Rev. Kramer is actually a legally binding service, and not something that’s just for fun. I take my ministerial duties, well sometimes, anyway, I take them “pastoral care” duties serious-like.
“No man, really, how much would you charge?”
The details? On a party barge, in Town Lake, food and drink provided? I could have a fishing pole by my side, wearing shorts, barefoot, probably a straw cowboy hat and Hawaiian shirt. What’s that tradition? After being married a few times, participating in countless weddings, and officiating one or two, I think that the groom is supposed to slip the presiding minister $50 or $100 at the end of the service. But if I could fish? I might waive the fee. Or wave the fee?
1. Furor over the [url=http://www.apple.com/itunes/pepsi/ads/superbowl480.html]Apple[/url] ad? I don’t get why some apple users are upset. But as a web-based writer, I’m sensitive to notations about copyrights and intellectual property rights. I thought the ad was okay.
1. Seems like The Fat Guy passed through Austin, and seems like he didn’t look any of us up. More’s the shame. Next time, [url=http://www.thefatguy.com/archives/003819.html#003819][i]dude[/i][/url].
1. Two-Meat Plate Q&A:
“Where do babies come from?”

1. Pursuant to that last link? I really do live like a monk.
