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.

  1. 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.

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