met up with my bookclub
for a late holiday brunch
in one of my favorite places
with
some of my favorite people
lots of bad gifts
beautiful food
morning drinks
strong coffee
live jazz
a pinata
and
a full morning of laughter.
a couple of people even read the book.
“laughter is an instant vacation.”

That does look like what a book club is supposed to look like. It’s just too bad, in a way, that today even book lovers are more likely to have seen the same movie than read the same book.

Three cheers to a book club that not only chooses a Milton Berle book but accomplishes all that yours does in its meeting, Beth.
