what is your job

[HillSlugger]

Hey, Okra is spiny, sticky icky when raw, slimy when boiled & tasty when fried! We do okay for a small state university. Last fall we beat my sister's much larger university (Stephen F. Austin State in Nacogdoches, TX, the lumberjacks- their mascot is Ax-some Jack. Their enrollment is about 12K, ours is 4K).

Look at that face-GRRR

A vegetable with boxing gloves and a mean look on its face. It is scary. I stand corrected

I suppose they are all better than the Harvard Crimson. The mascot is a color?

The Delta State Mascot even appeared on one of the Good Eats episodes on okra.

I know about those okra... get 'em fried at The Hollywood in Robinsonville, Miss. Remember Marc Cohn singing about that place? It really is great.

Grew up in the Miss Delta, from Memphis down to Arkabutla and eventually Greenville. Still got "kin" in all three places. Escaped to the Wild West of Wyoming and it's hard to imagine going back (heat, mosquitoes, a wee bit of a crazy class system )

I'm the features editor at a small (but sorta famous in the industry) weekly newspaper. The best part of my job is writing, editing and publishing great features. But I also am the traditional "society editor" writing about whose kids made the honor roll, what those cute lil' cub scouts are up to this week and having to try to console people submitting obituaries.

If I were working in Misssissippi, I'd also be writing about debutante balls.

That's an understatement on all accounts.

You women all sound brilliant and amazing! My career for the last ten years has been homeschooling my four children. They are ages 16, 14, 10 and 8.

Steph - that's a tougher job than most! You deserve a medal!
