About Me
- Name: Aunt B
- Location: Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Like Donnell Alexander says, "It's about completing the task of living with enough spontaneity to splurge some of it on bystanders, to share with others working through their own travails a little of your bonus life." But, it's mostly the kind of place that folks looking for "girls and cars" stumble across by accident.

THE CAST OF CHARACTERS
Aunt B.--Your kind host.The Butcher--My youngest brother, who lives with me and works as, you guessed it, a butcher. He knows everyone in town.
The Recalcitrant Brother--Our middle brother, who lives in rural Georgia and has a kind of movie star life, if that movie star is Burt Reynolds in Deliverance.
The Reverend--Our Dad, a Methodist minister, perpetually three years from retirement.
Mom--Our Mom. She doesn't get a funny nickname because our mom will not stand for funny nicknames.
Mrs. Wigglebottom--My dog. She's got terrible manners.
The Corporate Shill--Or The Shill, as we call her. My friend from college who was constantly getting me into trouble and going to parties she neglected to tell me about where cute boys would ask her "Where's Aunt B.?"
The Legal Eagle--The Shill's husband.
The Super Genius--She lived next door to me my freshman year of college and we've been friends ever since my first day on the floor.
Miss J.--My first adult friend, meaning the first lasting friendship I made after college. She was my roommate in grad school.
Her Lover--Her Husband.
The Divine Ms. B.--Miss J.'s sister and one of my heroes, because she's brave and funny and mystic and fearless.
JR--My oldest friend. I've known her since I was in the second grade.
Elias--JR's husband and the person who's musical tastes have most strongly affected my own. Oh, how I long to be cooler than him!
The Professor--My closest friend here in Nashville. She's a genius, but she'll never tell you that.
The Man from GM--I've known him since I was 16 and he still hasn't forgiven me for telling him I was a vegetarian when I wasn't.
The Redheaded Kid--No one knows where he comes from or where he goes when he leaves here. I assume he's the Butcher's friend. The Butcher assumes he's mine.

Lord A-Mercy. You had a rotten day. I went through this on the day of my fortieth birthday, when my buds took me out for "40th Birthday Eve."
Poor thing. I feel your pain.
I'd tell you to cough up the Jack, but clearly you already have.
It's yours. I'm rounding up everything in my house that belongs to you and that's going in the bag with the rest of the stuff.
I have that relationship with Jagermeister.Fuzzy memories, broken glass and a considerable amount of mess around our college apartment. I learned not to drink anything that you don't want to smell the next day. Jack is the worst ever to smell during your cold sweats the next morning. Vodka is your friend.
B, I wish I could return the favor that you and others did for me years ago when I had the same problem with tequila. Why, oh why do we do these things to ourselves??
Love,
Miss J
Ooo, absinthe. My sister Plimco once spent the night at the house Aunt B and I lived in when we weren't there for some reason I forget. She and her then boy friend (the one who had the wreck that made the hole in his butt that we all discussed a week or two ago) drank some homemade absinthe that night and managed to destroy our patio furniture and other sundry household objects. I'm glad I missed out on that.
Miss J
