David thinks it's a riot that I call shopping cart "coaches".

When I used to live in Florida, I'm sure I spoke "Dixie". I know that "ya'll" was a big part of my vocabulary. Maybe I should spend some time in England and come back with a nice British accent.

Like you, I absorb the accent that surrounds me. I'm sure that within a short time I could sound like a wishy-washy Brit -- or at least similar to Gillian Anderson's swapping US and UK accents back and forth depending on to whom she's speaking. When I'm on the phone with you (or my Mom) I find my mouth taking on those familiar shapes of my youth, the back of my jaw straining toward that "cup 'a cawfee" I used to drink back in NJ. LOL!

LOL!

You really know I'm a Jersey girl when I say "Doggett"
