Grew up having a fabulous time in a little Southern town. Love nature, science, art, Mahler, Proust, Steinbeck, Truffaut movies, early Fellini, Sinatra records, children from babyhood to old age, rain, and just being alive. Enjoy blogging about growing up with an extended family (all such characters!) and helping my grandfather raise chickens.

"I thank God for every day He gives me." - my late father. I second that.
