It’s My Birthday, so I’m Going Fishing Today, Eating Slaw Dogs Tomorrow…
By Tom Chandler on Apr 7, 2007 in Underground Entertainment

The L&T Nancy dug hard and found the perfect card for my 46th [gasp, sputter] birthday.
Instead of hanging around with you hacks, or getting pissed off writing more Nestle news, I’m going fishing. A report later.
Tomorrow — at 4 pm — we’re holding the Underground’s Second Slaw Dog Festival. For those living too far away to attend, we’ll be blogging this white-trash food event live, and including close-up photographs of the Tennessee Slaw Dog Northern California version of the Slaw Dog.
Not to be missed. See you on the river, Tom Chandler.

Tom,
Happy Birthday! Tomorrow happens to be mine. Unfortunatly, I’m not able to get to the water due to impending domestic chores, regardless of the occasion. Woe is me.

Sorry I missed the fishing invite. Weather looks good for it, but haven’t seen the river today - after our bit of rain - so hope it’s fishable. Looking forward to the slaw-dog fest, but we should have close-up shots of the Nor-Cal Slaw Dog instead of the Tennessee version.
Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday! Since I can’t get away to fish this weekend, I’m looking forward to your report describing (in agonizing detail at that) the fishing and the Slaw Dog Festival…

Ok Tom. I knew we had a lot in common–but this is getting ridiculous! You’re an Aries too? I knew you were cool. Happy Birthday my friend!
Best fishes,

It all makes sense now….
‘puter nerd (check)…fly flipper (check)…copywriter (check)…blogger (check)… Aries (check)… You didn’t happen to get a pipe for your birthday did you?

You passed with flying colors dude!

Good Morning TC,
Happy Birthday. I would love to make it to the slaw dog event, but it is Easter and we are heading down to Redding to see the Grand Kids. Save me one we will be heading back on Monday will give you a call.
The Mothers Day Caddis are showing on the main river, they should be hitting the upper river in about two weeks.
