Our 7th episode is a bit more subdued, as Nikki and Kevin drink Barley tea, swap stroke stories, and generally miss the presence of other guest-type humans. Topics discussed include after-hours Stoneybrook featuring cockfighting, proxy-businesses, and opium; Claudia’s future as the probable inventor (or at least decorator) of the Snuggie; and whether Kevin is or is not a better lesbian than Nikki. Bonus moment: An impromptu and immediately regretted sing-along featuring Kevin and Nikki. Apologies to Shawn Colvin and other people with ears.

Beverages consumed: Barley Tea (You can find it a lot of places, but we got ours here!)

Book discussed: #7 Claudia and Mean Janine
