- Down South ... but I do occasionally get out.
- Bio
- The blossom pictured above is NOT, as some have assumed, a magnolia. I wouldn't do anything that stereotypical. Rather, it is the bloom of a plant I cultivate -- the epiphyllum oxypetalum -- otherwise known as a "night blooming cereus."

Does My Concern for Palin's Children Make Me Sexist?
Here's a list of reasons why I'm not being sexist when I ask
who's parenting Sarah Palin's children:

ain’t possible without lots of help. Trust me. I know
from experien… Read full post »
How I Feel About That Woman's Nomination for VP
I'm probably not able to say anything that hasn't already been said, but let me just add that I'm befuddled, angry, afraid, insulted ... and if I think of any other adjectives, I'll let ya know. This whole thing just flat CREEPS ME OUT. I feel as if the world has… Read full post »
My Night Blooming Dementia
This is a photo of one of my night blooming cereus plants -- in full bloom, obviously. The plant's scientific name is, I believe, Epiphyllum oxypetalum. In Suddenly Last Summer Tennessee Williams referred to someone's "night blooming dementia." I think that's what I've got a case… Read full post »

In fact, it serves the QUINTESSENTIAL barbeque pork sandwich. Don't let anybody tell you different. Trus… Read full post »

Airports -- ARRGGHH!!!
Airports
This summer I have spent what is, for me, an unusual amount of time in airports. All totaled, I’ve made six airline flights in three months’ time. My assessment: ARGGHHH!Maybe the best approach is to take it airport by airport –

Flip-Flops: I Don't Get It
Call me old-fogey, but I just don't get it with the wearing of flip-flops on city streets. I mean, ain't all them gurlz afraid they'll get germs?!? I would be! Wearing flip-flops on city streets makes for some NASTY feet, and there ain't no way around it. Then, as if the… Read full post »
