I’m glad I participated in #HATM this week. I loved Dolly & cried my eyes out over her this week. I also made a short post.

So... the Chicken Ranch survived ~100 years, wars, prohibition, the depression, and changing social norms but was destroyed by a mediocre man with a microphone and a sock in his pants so that he can feel important? #HATM

I love the #HATM crowd for context like this! I'd never seen the movie and didn't know the history behind it.

So, I grew up in Arkansas and lived in Dallas for several years, and I never heard the two universities referred to as "TX Aggies" and "Texas U." It was always "Aggies," "Texas A&M" "UT" or "UT Austin." Anyone else find they way he referred to them as weird? #HATM

Tonight's movie kicked off with a stereoview (or stereograph). William & Mary's Swem Library has a large collection donated by an alum. #HATM

That said, here are tonight's #HATM questions:
1) What are your favorite books on sex and sexuality?
2) What is your favorite Dolly song?
3) And finally, what is on the menu at your home tonight?
