You’ve met Dan before, we played a nice game of “Name My Blog” over at his place recently. He’s blogging his way through Shane Claiborne’s “The Irresistible Revolution”. In between posts sharing his thoughts on the book, it looks like he’s having a little fun.
I picked this up, and personally, would’ve bet I was 100% “Dixie”, y’all. Go figure.

And I love his post title today: Gargling, Grace, and Glaciers. Gotta go back and comment on that one….tomorrow.
Clearly (at least to me) my undiagnosed but suspected A.D.D. is kicking in with my blog. I write like I clean house……..Here. There. Stop. Start. It’s a wonder I finish anything :/.
Um… Robin… aren’t you like missing 5% of something??? LOL! You’re only 95% linguistically complete. And forgive the fact that I could even notice something as trivial as that. 😉
Hey! I tried to go and see what kind of American English I speak and the link did not work. So, hook me up! 🙂
Geez-louise…this was supposed to be a SIMPLE post.
Evidently, the masterminds at Blogthings can’t add, Mike…and with my own oversight, I’m qualified to work there. I’d like to think the 5% unaccounted for falls into the d r a w l category. (and welcome!)
The link’s fixed.
Y’all come back, now, ya hear?
Hey you crazy dixie chick… thanks for the mention. And, by the way, you didn’t happen to find a coupla $5 bills anywhere did you? I think I lost them? (I love reading good news stories about kids). 🙂
peace,
