A Genteel Southern Christmas Wish...

The General, languid over his second mint julep, in his thick Mississippi Mud steeped in Jack drawls... "Y'all hae y'selves VEREH... MERREH... CHRISTMAS."

Here We Only Got One Rule...

Some things just go together...

I can't believe how little time i've made to write...its like school just drains my creative side. I get done with school, and i need to move on to the next thing, and never make time to write. Well...I'm makin time today!

Saturday night i couldn't think of a better thing to do than sit out on the back porch with The Queen and all four Royals, fire up the chimichanga and roast some dogs. There's nothing like a clear, calm Fall evening outside beside a warm cracklin fire, and giggling kids dunking sizzling hot dogs en brochette into the grey ashes under titian coals. Its those moments that gentrify the soul.

So we cooked, burnt, laughed, and ate. At the site of the first star, we recited "Star light, star bright..." with ketchup on our jeans, and mustard on our lips. We listened to the coyotes prattle at the distant passing train while the Royals joined the chorus, even The X. We went through about a dozen hot dogs and a half a loaf of bread, and knocked out the majority of 2 liters of Sprite in plastic Disney cups... contented with watching the sky move from azure to indigo to diamond dotted obsidian blue. Yup...i do loves me some Fall evenin's...but the presence of Royalty makes it heaven.
