An homage to Nashville, my home for the past couple of days. This Cootchie Classic had my mother telling me EXACTLY where I was conceived, right there in the comments on the original post. I’m going to spare your tender imagination, Dear Reader. Just reading that title makes me want to hurl. But, my parents [...]
