A nightcap with Tony. « Fred Klonsky

A nightcap with Tony. « Fred Klonsky:


A nightcap with Tony.


When the news came that the pension bill would not be voted on this session I headed over to the Red Line Tap.
If ever I needed a drink, it was last night.
Two Loyola college kids were over in the corner nursing a couple of beers.
And Tony was at the bar.
“Dodged a bullet?”
“Big time,” I said. “Why don’t you buy this time?”
“Nope,” said Tony. “That would ruin my reputation.”
