At VNO, an inconvenient (and New Age) veritas

Doc’s report:

“In vino veritas,” as the Latin aphorism has it: “In wine, truth.” The booze goes in, the truth comes out. Practical tip: Don’t talk to your wife’s sister when you’re drunk.

That aphorism was affirmed, in ways both hopeful and ridiculous, on a mid-August visit to
VNO Wine Warehouse & New Age Restaurant by Harry, the G-Man and me.

We like to get the bad news out of the way up front. That way, we can enjoy ourselves and get around to distracting ourselves from the world’s problems. Simply put, our bodies are crumbling, and our lives have become a sort of Bataan Death March to McLaren financed by Medicare. There are enough bad reports from every gland, organ and system in our three bodies to send Dr. Deborah Birx scarf shopping.
