Self Description
My mother is from the deep south and my father is a Yankee. When I describe myself, I might say that I am an accountant, or an east coaster or an Irish American. I would never think of describing myself as a southerner or a Yankee. Why is it that many people in the south identify themselves as southerners, or others as Yankees, like this is more important than other self identifying information? I have always wondered at this. Maybe it has to do with whether you moved around a lot as a kid versus living in the same community as your parents and grandparents all your life. I am not trying to be derogatory here, just curious.

If someone asked me for a description of myself, I would say what my mom said about me, which is that I'm down to earth.

RE: Self Description
Interesting question.

How is this? My father was a Polish Jew, born and raised in Watts. He eventually became a deacon in a Baptist church in a Mexican community.

Good night, ladies.

Rad, I think my wife sat next to you on a flight once. She didn't say anything because she didn't want to wake you up. On the bright side, I don't think you passed gas at all.
