Last melon post, I swear. Funny thing just happened: Margaret mentioned watermelon, so I asked her if she put salt on it. And she said that they were talking about that yesterday at her house; apparently her husband Vinnie does it, and the rest of them think it's weird! And they were also talking about salt and pepper on cantaloupe. And then somehow we got off on how much we love Waffle Houses. This is the same person who mentioned out of the blue one day that her favorite ribs came from "someplace down south . . . Dreamland?" Yep, Dreamland! The place I've been known to drive 75 miles to for a slab.

Man, I'm gonna gain 30 pounds in a week when I go home for vacation. It's gonna be SICK. I still have to figure out when I'm gonna do that, by the way. Probably will try to make the family reunion and then stay for a while. Not sure how I feel about the reunion yet. On the one hand, I'll get to see everyone, and I get along with just about all my family, but on the other hand everyone will BE THERE, and it's kinda hard to relax when people are coming and going like crazy. But maybe it'll clear out and be cool. Or maybe I'll say "see y'all" and head for Dreamland or the French Quarter!

heaven on earth
