I’ve been living in this area for many years, but this is the first time I’ve found myself strolling on Bank Street late on a summer night. It was with some trepidation that I stepped into the street to cross it, as there was a gang of motorcyclists, lined up and revving their engines looking for all the world like they were about to race down the street. However, they in fact behaved perfectly civilly, we made it across the street after leaving the latest edition of Drinking Liberally, walked past the bars and ended the night with some ice cream that couldn’t be beat, courtesy of Michael’s Dairy. Michael’s has been a New London institution since before I arrived in this area. If you make it down this way, and you’re a fellow ice cream fanatic, I highly recommend the pomegranate chip.
At the end of the night there were six of us remaining, four of whom are depicted here.
From left to write, former Lamont delegate Peter Roper and his wife Teri, State Representative Sandy Nafis and her husband, former Lamont delegate Alan Nafis, HPHS Class of ’68, greatest class in the history of the school.
Once again turnout exceeded our expectations. It seemed like the night before a long weekend might not be the best time for this type of event, but, not so.
In a totally unsurprising development, one of our stalwart members continues to insist that Joe Lieberman will be McCain’s running mate. He shudders at the thought, but remains insistent. Talk has begun of yet another Lieberman bet. I personally remain convinced that it’s an impossibility. I think McCain has to pick someone who will make the right happy. Could that someone be a certain California Florida governor of the male gender who just, to everyone’s surprise, announced that he was going to marry…a woman?
Update: I must have been drinking more liberally than I thought. I transplanted Charlie Crist to California.
