I'm fixing to fix you'uns some dinner.
so, i failed to tell you how very happy i was to receive your comments. loved the story, it reminds me of another. and also, what makes you think i'm fond of iron and wine?
p.s. thanks.
i love iron & wine. choosing a fave song is like choosing a fave sibling, but for now i will say: sea and the salty breeze, trapeze swinger, and track six of the green album.
the delila song is sweeping
have you ever heard of the Avett Brothers?
no, i have not.
there's also "i don't care to" which means exactly the opposite of what it means in any other place in the country.
