Enjoying a Knickerbocker tonight.

Same thing as last night, a Delmonico. Gin, cognac, sweet and dry vermouth, and orange bitters. Only without the cognac. Nice!

Feeling much better tonight after a day of camaraderie and joyful protest.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Tucker, GA, suburban Atlanta. Our family: me, my husband, & our 2 daughters, ages 23 & 21. The estimate was 1K-2K. Lots of people marching, motorists mostly honking & cheering us on! Now I'm enjoying a nightcap. Hope everyone is having fun!

As an introvert, I'm not great with big crowds, so I'm tired. But boy, did we have a big crowd in St. Paul. Nobody listened to the advice to stay away; the response was more like "Fuck this, we're going. No way are we letting them win."

But I've earned the drink. Staying up for Foyle's War, if I can.

We watched Foyle’s War, too. Our episode was the one with the murdered German POW.

Are you watching PBS tonight? Ken Burns "Prohibition" Wow, never thought there were so many crazy people in this country!
