Yesterday was a rather incredible day

Yesterday was a rather incredible day — breakfast at Maudie’s Too, then a stop by Asylum Bookstore long enough to peer through the poetry section (and classics, sometime they have most excellent deals on used classics), and I got torn when I had to make a decision, it was either Ezra Pound’s “Selected Cantos” or, better yet, and pursuant to yesterday’s discussion with one of my lawyers, T.S. Eliot’s “Four Quartets.” Eliot won, but that’s because it was a used book at a used price, $2.50 (although, the cover price was $1.95). I’m pretty sure some quotes from that text will be landing in upcoming scopes, powerful stuff. Then, at a party last night, I was introduced to Amy. Amy is a Virgo, and I was chatting amiably with her until I found out she was the Amy. And in keeping with what seems to be a growing Austin tradition, she’s a female Virgo who is rather successful. I had to keep from falling all over myself when talking to Amy — Amy of Amy’s Ice Cream. The real person. Anyway, Magnolia Cafe is part owned by a Virgo, and New Age (now Whole Life) Books is partnered by a Virgo, so I’m sensing a trend here. Besides, I was in total adulation mode around Amy. I’ve been singing a sweet song about her ice cream for years. Finally, I get to meet the person behind it all. Amazing. Better yet, she seemed like a normal person. “Come on by and I’ll buy you an ice cream,” she said to me.
