Ok. I'll probably start with Pulp Fiction, since I know my son has that one.

Oh, the UP. My sons and I spent 3 or 4 days up there in '22. I loved that place. I'd never before felt I was so much in the true North (not Civil War North, but North Country) as I did up there. So exotic to me. On our last morning, we stopped off at a place called MI Dogs. It was a kennel of Alaska...

Thats one I don't think I've heard of. I'll have to watch for it.

I love to travel, but being rooted is important to me, too. I think that may be a defining characteristic of Southerners. One of the things that distinguishes Southern lit is a powerful sense of place. Honestly, I don't know if my kids feel that way. Maybe my second son feels Southern. My older boy ...

Which one has vampires?

LOL about the car, Andy. I remember talking with my mother about their decisions to leave Europe, at a time when they knew it was forever, no going back. We used to say that it let you know how bad things must have been over there, that they were willing to leave everything and everyone they'd ever ...

I need to look at all his titles. I'm pretty sure there's at least one I've always meant to see.

That's fascinating! My sons and I vacationed all around the Michigan coast in 2022. We stopped in Mackinac Island, and, on the UP, at Taquanamon Falls (sure I butchered that), Whitefish Point, Pictured Rocks, Newberry; Charlevoix and Sleeping Bear Dunes on Lake Michigan, and finished up at Hartwick ...

I know, right? I really need to see that movie.

Wow, you all had a tv miniseries based on your family? 1651 is a long time ago. The earliest I know of in my family is c 1720. Which colony were ya'll in? All those pregnancies! Your poor mom! But that's the way it used to be. People had as many babies as nature allowed. I guess if a woman were barr...

Well, that does sound intriguing. I know he has employed many actors I like over the years.

Wow, eleven! I knew you had several, but that's getting into 19th century-size families. I went to a family reunion ten or eleven years ago for a branch of my family that traces itself back to the American Revolution and earlier. These folks are genealogists out of this world. One lady took me into ...

I know nothing about him other than that. Somehow, with his reputation for violent films, etc, he just never struck me as a Southern kind of guy.

Well, that's good.

One of my grandmothers had lot of sinus issues, and she never enjoyed cooking or even food. I've always wondered if her sense of smell was defective.

I was surprised to learn a few years ago that Tarantino is from Tennessee, Knoxville area.
