"The disposition of noble dogs is to be gentle with people they know and the opposite with those they don't know... How, then, can the dog be anything other than a lover of learning since it defines what's its own and what's alien." - Plato
I havn't even been here 24 hours yet and I've had eastern Carolina pork BBQ (with slaw), country ham, homemade pimento cheese (satisfied sigh), homemade apple muffins, and beef stew and cabbage. It ain't even Thanksgiving yet and I'm the only sibling here aside from the oldest sister who lives in town anyway. I may need to get a second seat on the plane for the way back... Woo-hooooo!

A divorced northeastern North Carolina farmboy back in Carolina via Washington DC, a small Carribean island and Texas. Mostly self-educated I am the product of public schools, a few trips to college, the school of life (& hard knocks), a WWII veteran father who could build anything, and a Sunday School teacher mother who loved to read anything she could lay her hands on. As the youngest of five I am no stranger to having to defend my actions (not to mention myself).
"Mom and Dad say I should make my life an example of the principles I believe in. But every time I do, they tell me to stop it."

If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people.
