The Corner

Re: Tree-House of The August Moon

Yeah, yeah, I know my back fence is in a sorry state, and the back of my

garage likewise.

Just because I work for a class outfit like National Review, doesn’t mean I

have totally renounced my white-trash origins. “You can take the boy out of

the Bronx, but you can’t take the Bronx out of the boy.”

(Although, for the record, I’d like to note that we have a firm coming in to

give the property a new fence at the end of this month. The garage? Maybe

next year.)
