The freespeech, the richness and fullness of history in the South continues to set me free.

I work with and have several clients that are old Southern Jews. Talk about draaawwwlls. They are excellent deer and bird hunters, poker players and love to get out and crawl around the bars at night. Come to think of it, they're...good 'ol boys.

The old-time Atlanta Jewish families go as far back as any Anglos or Scotch-Irish around here.

For years the hoity-toitys up at the Piedmont Driving Club would not admit Jews, so they said the heck with them and started the Standard Club (now CNN's administration building, BTW). The PDC has horses' heads up on the gables of the buildings, and some of my Jewish friends always said, "It's the wrong end of the horse."

I can swear a little in Yiddish myself . . . comes in handy on occasion.
