Is This Interesting?
Thoughts/feelings that just might not matter:

Oh, the Cinco de Mayo weekend was grand, my friends, but I’m tired, so tired. I stayed up very late last night creating my entry for the Public Radio Talent Quest. I humbly invite you to check it out here [http://www.publicradioquest.com/audio/user/4193] and vote for it. It includes a chorus of a capella Southpaws! You may have to register, but it only takes a second, and you’re helping me realize my dreams of the kind of stardom that doesn’t require pancake make-up! Tell your friends! Thanks.

I’ll have to update the Southpaw Jones Virtual Excursion des Pieds next Monday, as I only got six miles of exercise last week. Shame on me…just as I was about to virtually bust out of Texas!

Austinites, don’t forget the Songwriter Tribute to Bruce Springsteen tomorrow night (Tuesday, 5/8) at the Cactus Café! 8 pm. Bring non-perishable food and/or cash for the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas.

Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:

I came here to offer a way to make peace with our Republican friends on this heated school lunch issue. Al Gore and I have discovered a reinventing government way, Mr. Armey, to get around this terrible rhetoric we’ve been flinging at you on school lunches. We have a way to save money through streamlining that does not require us to deprive our children of food. Instead of cutting food, we’re going to cut the cutlery. And here’s how—with a spork. Now, you know, I don’t know how many of you know this, I’ve been eating off these things for years. I never knew they were called sporks. But that’s what they are. This is the symbol of my administration. This is a cross between a spoon and a fork. No more false choice between the left utensil and the right utensil. This is not an ideological choice. This is a choice in the middle and a choice for the future. This is a big, new idea—the spork.
