You’ve caught us at a rare moment when Claire is neither waiting for her hot plate to heat nor giving in to the temptation to poke the water damage on her ceiling. Also at a special time in her life? Lizzy McAlpine (26). We discuss this and steak suppers, DTF St. Louis, Elspeth, and R.F. Kuang’s Katabasis. Finally, for our writing exercise, we went to a talk between multi-hyphenates David Duchovny and Gina Gershon and got a lesson in horniness from the crowd.
