Memphis Earlene and me back on the Virtual Veranda, all bundled up, It’s cold outside but we’ve been indoors too long and it’s time to be sociable. Memphis Earlene still drinking White Russians. She doesn’t exactly follow the ins and outs of Mueller’s investigation but she gets the gist. That’s because we watched Godfather 2 last night.

“Trump thinks he’s Michael Corleone or even the Godfather himself, but he’s really more like Fredo,” says Memphis Earlene..

Can’t wait to see Casablanca again.

“Don’t worry,” says Memphis Earlene. “It wastes time.”
