Welcome

I hope you find what you were looking for here, or maybe something interesting that you were NOT looking for!

Mixed

     The number of mixed marriages in The South is increasing, reports the NY Times in an article that focuses on Mississippi.
     I suspect the experiences of the couples profiled in the article, like being asked it they are together at a restaurant, even if they are arm-in-arm, are just as common in Alabama and the rest of the Old South.

There is one restaurant here in Montgomery which I frequent so often that they automatically bring out my unsweet tea, when they see me walking on the sidewalk.

If I am with my wife (who is of the same race as me), they still ask if I'm paying for both. I reply that we've been married 42 years and yes, I'll be paying.


Perhaps this is because she is from Pennsylvania and I from New England.

Oops! That was from me, your loyal Associate Adjunct Assistant Executive Editor.

Yes, I could tell from the writing! By the way, the link to that article is now fixed.
