What, no shoutout to the Sons of Chekhov? ;) Glad to sign up for this regular outlet for your recipes, reportage, and musing, Old Stick! I think I might make me one of these classic Gin Rickey's this very afternoon. The perfect respite from Summer's Caldron...

Ted, you old son of a gun. Great to have you here! I can't believe I neglected that glorious footnote in my origin story that was The Sons of Chekhov. That may warrant its own post.

What a great origin story!

I don’t want you to regret sharing this detail, but I want to see a production of Oliver’s Army! Still, looking forward to whatever the next dispatch is!

Thanks for reading (and subscribing). I have the only copy of the OLIVER'S ARMY script somewhere in a taped-up box. I'd be afraid to read it, but it was a very well-received production. I forget to mention that it was in the round as well. I had to step in for one of the actors at the last minute (who was playing a bike messenger who was always on his bike) and navigated my 10-speed in circles all night.

Awesome first missive! And I, coincidentally, enjoyed a post-shift Rickey at LI Bar last night, followed by a nice slug of Del Maguey SDA whilst reading the opening of Bonfire of the Vanities. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
