I was born a semi-diva. I married a redneck. Through the magic of osmosis or just because of a serious lack of sophistication over the years I have found a balance of the two that make me who I am today. And then I write about it all, much to the chagrin of my mother.

Of course my husband likes David Allen Coe. When we were dating (if you can call it that) his favorite song was "You Never Even Call Me By My Name." He sang along
with it on the radio: "Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison...."
It's a redneck thang!
