To Happy Valley
Fri Jul 29, 2005 13:08 (UTC -5)Today my family is going to my aunt’s house near High Springs, Florida. You normally don’t think of Florida as a Southern state unless you’re speaking geographically. But High Springs is Southern in all senses of the word. It’s a typical small, rural town. In fact, it’s kind of backward in its ruralness. As my dad would say, they roll up the sidewalks at night. Take the town movie theater, for example. It’s called the Priest Theater: One screen. Three nights a week. One showing per night, 8:00. Chaperone in the back. Dress code to get in. (I think guys have to wear a tie.)
Actually, my aunt is only “in” High Springs because that’s her mailing address. In reality, she lives several miles up the road, across the Santa Fe River in Columbia County. She lives on U.S. 441, where it’s a two-lane road, across from a tree farm. We’ve nicknamed her home “Happy Valley,” because that’s the name of a nearby street which I think isn’t paved.
We should have a fun time.
Here’s an Ask Jordon question we hope you’ll really like.
Sean: Greg, Brad, Chip, Katherine or Jeff?
Tough one… I’d have to say Greg. He’s so funny it’s weird, and so weird that it’s funny. But all of them make the show great (to varying degrees). Whose Line Is It Anyway? has to be my favorite TV show.
What’s Shiny, Pointy, & Tall? It’s a blog by a guy who takes pictures of people taking pictures of the Chrysler Building in New York. Truly weird.
