Hello folks, let's chat
Canned Meat, Radio, Travel Plans, and Rotten Eggs– this post has it all.
Hey y'all! This is a just a stream of consciousness/touching base/housekeeping type of post since I haven't been to the blog in weeks. Mind you, I'm still hosting ATS LIVE each Monday evening on Talk540 and producing new website and radio segments for my affiliates week in and week out, so I do hope all of you fine blog readers have found those All Things Southern efforts.

Gracing the Public Square
I love words. If you’ve been sitting on the All Things Southern porch for any time at all, that did not come as a news flash.
