kfc
ovenbird I asked if I could go see Buddy MacMaster play the fiddle at the K of C. I meant the Knights of Columbus Hall. You heard KFC. You said I could go but you were very confused about why a world class fiddler would be giving a concert at a fast food fried chicken joint. We still laugh about it sometimes. And I can never see a KFC without thinking of a blazing Cape Breton strathspey. 260430

raze i was never sure why this became our go-to meal for special occasions. not that we had much to celebrate in that house. it wasn't my choice. i know that much. decades down the line from the_last_time_i_saw_you, i can taste our family meal just by thinking of it. the coleslaw that burned the back of my throat. the chicken that seemed more skin than meat. soft drinks flatter than my adolescent stomach. and i can still see my fingers, slick with grease, reaching for a hand that would sooner feign being broken than bind with mine. 260502
