Redemption Dinner
July 3, 2020, was a bit of an embarrassment and a day I’d just as soon forget. In fact, I pretty much did, as evidenced by my day-after post. Without going into too many sordid details, there were many hours spent in the summer heat; a bunch of gin and sodas; a botched video call…
