Chicken and Biscuits

Gotta love those North Carolina sunsets. The steamy mid-summer humidity, fireflys dancing in the air, your local Bojangle's lighting up the sky... I spent two wonderful weeks in NC earlier this summmer. I always feel somewhat conflicted visiting there, because while I love seeing my family, I am always reminded of my formative years growing up there, never feeling like I quite fit in anywhere... I mean, being an Indian kid in Raleigh, NC back in the 80's was, well, interesting. The RTP area is much more diverse now, but people in CA look at me like I'm nuts when I tell them I grew up in NC. I guess those feelings of being the odd one out were miserable back then, but they eventually to my creative endeavors.
