I've been trying to clean up my cyber-life lately--finishing projects, deleting old drafts, clearing out emails--stuff like that. It was in this context that I found a link to an old Emmylou story that I set aside to read at my leisure and never got around to doing. (Leisure? What's that?) I love uncovering hidden gems. I really do.

She'd been calling me "Eddie" for nine months! She told me that if she'd been wrong, she would have had to pick something on the spot like Sara Dorine. Sara is a name she always liked. Dorine was my grandmother's name.
My second favorite part: The Abraham Lincoln quote.
