I wanna go back to Dixie

[L Verge]

Did I cause you to have the vapors, Gene?

I guess I should have warned you that I tend to talk more like Belle Watley than Melanie Wilkes...

For those of you who subscribe to the Surratt Courier, the August issue (which went in the mail today) has a nice article on Mint Juleps. Believe it or not, there is a tie-in to the Civil War in Southern Maryland and the Surratts, so read all the way to the end.

Right now, however, it is 103 in Southern Maryland. I'm going to take a cool shower and fix a wine cooler for dinner. I would fix sweet tea, but it's too darn hot to turn on a stove.

P.S. to Gene - There will be no girdles and bras. The ladies of the forum will understand.
