Oh my goodness.  The pressure!  Will I be pithy?  funny?  amusing?  entertaining?  None of the above?
Today let's talk about buying men gifts.  Specifically my brother in law.  For starters, the man lives across the country.  So it's not like I know his daily habits.  Would he enjoy a Starb*cks card, or is he in a committed relationship with a local coffeehouse?  [OK, even knowing my brother in law just a little I think he's more likely to be a pot of coffee at home kind of guy instead of mingling with some hippie-coffee-roasting commmies.  But really, what do I know?]  Well, I do know that my BIL likes to hunt.  Would sending a gun across the country send the wrong message?  "Hey!  Happy Birthday!  Don't pull a Dick Cheney on my sister, ok?!"  And is the correct terminology actually a gun?  Or is it a rifle?  Shotgun? 
So no gun.  Or Starb*cks.  Which leaves me to my backup plan:  ask my sister what to get.  Per her advice my BIL is getting a Target gift card. 
Who knows, maybe he'll buy a rifle.
