Puckett wins contested MSDLT board seat
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
Incumbent Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township at-large board member Crystal Puckett has retained her seat on the board, according to unofficial Marion County election results from Nov. 5. Puckett had been challenged by Eric Young. Puckett ended the night with about 65 percent of the ballots cast in her favor. In real numbers, she had about 21,500 votes compared to Young’s 11,600.
In a phone interview Nov. 6, Puckett said she was happy with the results. She thanked Young for running a good race and Lawrence voters for supporting her. She noted that she’s a product of Lawrence Township schools and giving back is important to her.
“It really was a blessing to be able to con-
nect with people and just to share my story more,” she said. “It’s one thing that to say you’re a servant leader, and it’s another to have that lifestyle. … I’m excited to get back to focusing on the kids in our community,”
Two other open seats on the MSDLT board were uncontested, with one candidate for each seat.
Shaila Mulholland was the sole candidate for the District 1 seat now held by Wendy Muston. Muston, who also serves as the board president, did not seek reelection.

Lawrence council rejects raises for city employees
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
City of Lawrence civil and appointed employees will not receive raises in 2025 following action by the Lawrence Common Council during a special meeting Nov. 1.
GOVERNMENT
The council voted 6-1 to reject a proposed ordinance that would have provided 3 percent raises to city employees who are not covered by the recently ratified police and fire contracts. Councilor Sherron Freeman (D-District 3) cast the dissenting vote, stating that she believes city employees deserve a pay increase in part because of the increased cost of living.
should have retained an independent financial consultant earlier in the 2025 budget process.
“I truly hope that this council holds good to its promise to reevaluate this 2025 budget and to make all the fiscally responsible changes as needed,” he said.
Councilor Liz Masur (D-at-large) explained why she voted against raises.
The city’s 2025 budget has been approved and submitted to the state, but council members and other public officials have expressed concern about the process used to draft it and whether the budget accurately reflects the city’s finances. The council has hired a financial consultant to help review the 2025 spending plan. Following the council’s Nov. 1 vote, Lawrence Mayor Deb Whitfield sent an email to city employees expressing disappointment with the council’s action.

Schedule
“I would prefer, and I think I speak for my fellow counselors, to award salary increases to all the hard working, terrific employees who strive tirelessly to do what is best for Lawrence,” she said. “But until our finances are … sorted out, it would be irresponsible to do that.”
Masur also noted that City of Lawrence salaries are generally higher than other comparable municipalities in Indiana.
During the regular Nov. 4 council meeting, Councilor Rick Wells (D-District 2) — who did not attend the Nov. 1 special meeting — apologized to city employees for the decision against raises.
“I understand the concern the council had with the uncertainty of the next year’s budget,” he said. “However, this council does have some culpability in the wasteful spending of this administration.”
Wells said the council should reduce how much the administration can spend on contracts before coming to the council for approval from $50,000 to $5,000 and
“The 2025 budget adopted by the council on Oct. 16 included sufficient and sustainable funding to cover the costs of the proposed pay increase, yet the council voted against it anyway,” she wrote. “I believe withholding that recognition of your hard work and commitment to the City of Lawrence is, in a word, unfair. It risks the city’s ability to retain experienced staff like you and limits our capacity to attract new talent to our ranks.”
Whitfield added that her administrative team would explore “alternative incentives” to support city employees.
In other matters, the council on Nov. 4 approved an additional appropriation of $437,000 from city reserves to offset a deficit in the 2024 budget. The funds will cover shortfalls in sanitation and pensions.
The next Lawrence Common Council meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. Nov. 20 at Lawrence Government Center, 9001 E. 59th St.

Community Health hosts Black Men in White Coats
news@geistcurrent.com
Indianapolis-based Community Health Network hosted Indiana’s third annual Black Men in White Coats Youth Summit Nov. 2 at Lawrence North High School.
EDUCATION
According to an announcement from Community Health, hundreds of students from third grade through high school had the opportunity to put on a white coat and a stethoscope and try their hands in the world of medicine.
“This included simulations of giving a shot, stopping a bleed, even saving a life through CPR,” the announcement stated.
“Many different areas of medicine were demonstrated with the help of Community Health volunteers to garner interest in health care and increase the number of Black caregivers in Indiana.”
Black Men in White Coats was founded in 2013 in response to a report that highlighted the decreasing number of Black men applying to medical school. The announcement cites a report by the Association of American Medical Colleges that shows less than 6 percent of physicians in the U.S. are Black or African American.
“By collaborating closely with medical schools, high schools and physicians, the organization aims to provide inspiration and mentorship to youth who may be interested in health care as a profession,” the announcement stated.
During the event, students heard from
physicians, including Black Men in White Coats founder Dr. Dale Okorodudu.
“The purpose of these summits is not necessarily to force you into medicine but to help you find your greatness,” he stated. “Help you find your own white coat and go out and get it.”
Community Health Network sponsored Indiana’s first Black Men in White Coats Youth Summit in 2022 and plans to continue this event annually.
“They will see people who look like them who will tell them if I can do it, you can do it,” stated Community Health’s Dr. Danyelle Loveless.

Lawrence North presents ‘Poe Afterlife Radio Show’
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Lawrence North High School dramatics director Tonya Rave chose to present “The Edgar Allan Poe Afterlife Radio Show” because it appeals to several of her passions as an educator.
“As an English teacher, I adore the work of Edgar Allan Poe,” Rave said. “As a speech teacher, I appreciate the opportunities afforded for students to refine their public-speaking skills through the radio play format. As a theater teacher and director, I am grateful for the flexibility it offers in terms of staging because, in the wake of the construction and renovation project at Lawrence North, our rehearsal space, the Little Theatre, is not yet equipped with technology.”
The play is set for 7 p.m. Nov. 15 and 16 in the school’s main auditorium for the Indiana premiere of the production.
Rave said she needed a script with minimal set requirements.
“However, despite a minimal set, this production is unique in that it allows additional talents of our amazing students to be showcased,” Rave said. “For example, one student will be appearing as a foley artist (special effects performer) and producing various live sound effects during the performances. In addition, several other students will be sharing original compositions throughout.”
Junior Clive Guidry portrays Poe.
“The reason I wanted to audition for this wonderful show was because this year I have really delved deep into Edgar Allen Poe,” Guidry said. “Our show choir set is based around his works, so I really started researching and understanding the character better by reading his poems and stories, my favorite being ‘The Tell-Tale Heart.’ Embracing the character of Edgar Allan Poe, I’ve really seen the darkness of his personality, experiences and works. Poe found enjoyment in the dark things in life. With the experience of this role, there have been many challenges. The biggest challenge has definitely been getting into the mind of Edgar, which can be difficult because he was a very erratic person who had a wild mind. It’s been a great experience to be part of this show.”
Rave, a 1991 Lawrence North High School
graduate, said six of the actors portray three characters each throughout the production.
“We have spent a great deal of time on character development throughout the rehearsal process,” she said. “The students have also been afforded with opportunities to share other talents throughout and it has been a joy to witness their creativity in approaching these opportunities.”
Senior Taylor Smith portrays the Announcer, Fortunato and the Old Man.
“I’d say the most difficult piece of the production as an actor is this radio play format,” Smith said. “It challenges the voice to do most of the legwork that the body usually does, which is hard in itself. However, oftentimes, the only visual aid that an audience member has is the body and they didn’t pay to see an audiobook, so you have to be very focused on how you carry yourself.”
Junior Christopher T. Moore portrays Montresor, the Steak and Officer 1.
“I was drawn to this play because I was initially curious as to how radio shows work and I wanted to see how logically it would be portrayed on a theatrical stage,” Moore said. “I like how the play gives me an opportunity to have fun with multiple characters, all of whom are very different in their personalities. With Montressor, it allows me to be more sinister and grim compared to the Steak, who’s a gag character in a commercial, and compared to the officer, who is more nonchalant and reasonable. I also like some of the creative freedoms that the script gave us in the commercials, which allowed us to create a little jingle for the second one. As a performance that’s heavily focused on vocal variations and not as much movement, it gets a little rough simply sitting and standing for the full duration of the show.”

Fishers High School cross country runner wins state title
By Ken Severson editorial@youarecurrent.com
Fishers High School senior Sam Quagliaroli ran away from the field — literally.
Quagliaroli won the IHSAA boys cross country individual state title Nov. 2 at the LaVerne Gibson Championship Course in Terre Haute.
Quagliaroli, who was coming off a broken toe suffered during his junior year in track and field, won with a time of 14:46.81 seconds, nearly five seconds ahead of runner-up junior Noah Bontranger of Westview.
Quagliaroli averaged 4:45.4 per mile, recording the fastest-ever time at the course.
“I had a strategy going in. Everybody likes to go out really hard and it’s easy to do that with the big downhill there,” Quagliaroli said. “I was focusing on conserving my energy through the first (kilometer). And going into it I felt good and then felt smooth through 3 (kilometers). That’s where I wanted to throw in a surge and separate myself from the pack.”
Mission accomplished — except for Bontranger, who kept up with Quagliaroli.
SAM QUAGLIAROLI
Favorite athlete: Connor McDavid
Favorite TV show: “Impractical Jokers”
Favorite music group: Pearl Jam
Favorite vacation spot: Martha’s Vineyard
That’s when Quagliaroli said his training paid off and was the difference between first and second place.
“Noah had a great race and I knew it was going to be a dogfight to the finish,” Quagliaroli said. “Fortunately, all the hard work we put in this year allowed me to be victorious and it was awesome.”

title for a Fishers runner and first in 16 years, caps off a stellar four-year career for the Tigers in which he placed in the top 40 all four seasons at state.
As a freshman, Quagliaroli was 39th overall. He improved dramatically as a sophomore to 18th place and finished third last year.
“It’s super rewarding to see progress and super motivating at the same time,” said Quagliaroli, a former hockey player who gave up that sport to concentrate on running. “When you see the progress, it tells the work you’re putting in.”
Fishers cross country coach Nathan Warnecke said Quagliaroli’s win was four years in the making.
“Sam’s decision to quit hockey was a very difficult decision for him to make, but he knew it was the right decision and (he) worked tirelessly to achieve the pinnacle in our sport,” Warnecke said. “Besides being a phenomenal talent, he is a fabulous leader and example for the other athletes.”
Besides winning the individual championship, Quagliaroli also was named the winner of the Charles F. Maas Mental Attitude Award for boys cross country.
“That award is very important to me,” said Quagliaroli, who will compete for Indiana University next year.
In the team standings, Fishers finished fifth. Bloomington North was the overall winner, followed, respectively, by Noblesville, Brownsburg and Northridge.
“That was great,” Quagliaroli said. “I keep saying this and I mean it — the team medal means a lot more to me than the individual title. I was so happy for them. They fought through a lot of adversity this season and it was so awesome to see them on the podium.”

Lawrence teen wins American Royal Beauties pageant
Les Morris news@geistcurrent.com
Cecelia Cobb-Dennard is a newcomer to the beauty pageant world but is already enjoying success.
COMPETITION
Participating in the American Royal Beauties competition in Fort Wayne in October, the Lawrence 13-year-old won the state title in the Junior Teen Division for ages 13 to 15, and captured awards for best hair, best eyes, top model, role model, introduction and spirit of pageantry.
The titles and awards are particularly impressive as Cobb-Dennard is only getting started in pageants and had to overcome early disappointment. Her first pageant was this summer in Indianapolis and she didn’t finish in the top 10 in any category. But her mother, Jenny Tursi, said she wasn’t deterred.
“She worked her tail off and it made her more determined,” said Tursi, herself a former pageant contestant. “She’s carried that with her. I see her walking a little taller. Disappointment didn’t set her back.”
Cobb-Dennard, an eighth-grader at Fall Creek Valley Middle School, echoed the sentiment.
“I was really determined to do better,” she said, “I knew what I wanted, and I got

She said she is having fun and her favorite part has been meeting other girls at the competition.
Community service is a key component of the competition. Each girl must develop a platform and make it the hallmark of subsequent appearances and discussions with other girls. Cobb-Dennard’s platform focuses on how girls from different backgrounds and experiences can achieve their goals if they work hard and are determined. She appeared at a Girl Power event in Indianapolis to spread that message to attendees.
Cobb-Dennard will compete for the American Royal Beauties national title in July 2025 in Cincinnati.

CULINARY COMMUNICATION
Geist-area restaurant hosts Indiana Humanities event focused on food and community
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
There’s something about sharing a meal that can turn strangers into friends.
That concept played out during an October Indiana Humanities event that invited Hoosiers to six different restaurants throughout the state to eat a meal together and talk about the connections between food and community.
Thai Villa Cuisine, 10572 E. 96th St. — the Geist side of Fishers — was among the six venues. Ten people sat down together to share spring rolls and enjoy traditional noodle dishes and curries. They also talked about food, with the discussion led by Indianapolis food blogger and author Candace Boyd Simmons.
Before the meal began, Simmons said she was excited to talk about food with people she hadn’t met before.
“One of the things I always say is that food is a connector of people,” she said. “No matter where you are, the one thing we all have in common — we’re all hungry, we all love to eat and we all need food for more than just sustenance.”
Although Indiana Humanities has hosted similar events in the past, it was the first time Simmons was involved. But it was still familiar territory. She said one of her favorite activities is hosting small dinner parties and encouraging guests to talk about food. In addition to guiding the other participants, Simmons said she hoped to expand her own community table.
“I feel like you are always better when you can bring in your neighbors,” she said. “So, that connects us all through many different walks of life, many different parts of Indy. And I’m excited to try something new, because I’ve never been here. I’m excited to taste the Thai cuisine tonight.”
Participants included a couple of Fishers residents, some Indianapolis residents and four people who drove from Kokomo. The group started off the conversation by naming their favorite foods, which ranged from pasta and pot roast to spicy curries.
They also talked about food memories — most participants recalled watching or helping their mothers or grandmothers cook or harvest vegetables from the garden; and suggestions for people just learning to cook — crockpot recipes and eggs
were popular choices.
Food accessibility was another topic. Simmons noted a 2023 study that showed one in four Indiana residents needed help getting access to food. She asked where the participants and their neighbors get their food.
Trader Joe’s, Aldi, international markets and farmers markets were mentioned, in
addition to the standard grocery stores. Most lived reasonably close to grocery stores. Simmons said she previously worked in marketing for Kroger and she remembers when certain stores closed in Indianapolis, contributing to food deserts.
“It’s actually one of the reasons why I left the grocery industry, because I couldn’t keep seeing these stores closed, leaving

neighbors without access to food,” she said. “It was really heartbreaking.”
The group talked about ways to improve food access, including neighborhood food pantries and other services provided by nonprofit organizations.
Scott Hutchison of Fishers was one of the Thai Villa Cuisine diners. He said he was interested in the event because he is part of a community-building effort at his workplace and he was hoping to get some ideas.
The event is a part of an Indiana Humanities initiative called Food for Thought, which focuses on food in the context of culture, history, law, politics, science, the arts, religion, ethnicity and humanity’s place in the world.
It’s also part of Indiana Humanities’ multiyear initiative Unearthed, which encourages Hoosiers to discover and discuss their relationships with the natural world.
Special Projects Manager Bronwen Carlisle said the program is one of Indiana Humanities’ longstanding
“(It) was all thinking about how food brings us together, connects us — how there’s all kinds of humanities explorations into food, cultural history,” she said. “It’s just a good convener and a good kind of conversation starter. And so, this program really revolved around that idea that we bring strangers together. Most everyone at these events usually doesn’t know each other at all, or there may be acquaintances or neighbors, and we come together around a common theme and have a conversation. And at the end of the night, we don’t leave as strangers, we leave as friends.”
Carlisle said the program started in Indianapolis and expanded to other communities about five years ago.
“And I’ve hosted pitch-in dinners and stuff like that as part of Christian groups and am just always looking for ways to kind of increase community — to foster more and better communities,” he said.
Hutchison said Simmons’ questions helped the conversation that night go more smoothly than he had anticipated, considering that it was essentially a group of strangers.
“I thought it might be pretty awkward and uncomfortable at first, but it really wasn’t — like, we kind of just all jumped right in,” he said. “Something about sitting around a table and eating together and dining together.”

Versatile vocalist Odom Jr. to appear at Palladium
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Singer-songwriter-actor Leslie Odom Jr. is well-known for his Tony Award-winning role as Aaron Burr in “Hamilton.”
“I’m divinely blessed to have found my way into ‘Hamilton’ for lots of reasons, but I think the main one is I found kinship with (‘Hamilton’ creator) Lin-Manuel Miranda,” Odom said. “He’s only a year older than I and so we grew up in a time when it was not strange to like hip-hop, pop and R&B and get into your parents’ old albums, some jazz and oldies. I grew up with gospel music, so when I got this eclectic score, I really understood it. It sounded like an iPod playlist I would have made for myself. Our audiences look like the ‘Hamilton’ audience and they are interested, thank goodness, in a playlist with that kind of variety and range.”
Odom will perform at 8 p.m. Nov. 22 at the Palladium at the Allied Solutions Center for Performing Arts in Carmel. Odom, 43, will perform songs from “When a Crooner Dies,” his fifth full-length studio album, which was released in 2023.
“A live show is a mix of learning, experimenting and trying things,” Odom said. “Over the last decade, some of that stuff has resonated and connected with the audience. We take stock of those things and do what people like best.”
Odom said unlike Stevie Wonder or Prince, he can’t get in a room and write songs all by himself.
“When I’m starting a new project, it’s a chance for me to get together and hang out with my friends, people I’ve developed intimate creative relationships with over the past few years,” Odom said. “They’ve helped me create my sound and find myself in this new area in the music space.”
A lifelong music lover, Odom said it’s gratifying that he has developed fans and supporters of his music.
Odom has been nominated for three Grammy Awards, winning for the best cast album of “Hamilton.” He played Sam Cooke in “One Night in Miami” and was
nominated for an Academy Award for best original song, “Speak Now.”
Odom, who has acted in several TV shows and movies, received a Tony nomination for his leading role in “Purlie Victorious” on Broadway for “Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play.” He made his Broadway producing debut with that revival.
Odom said those fortunate enough to be in the original cast of “Hamilton” all benefited.
“We were a surprise to people, which was a wonderful thing for us,” Odom said.
“As we all went about finding life after ‘Hamilton,’ there were so many new avenues available to us because we were new faces.”
Performing in concerts has become his favorite part of his career.
“But I’m so glad I don’t have to choose,” he said. “I’m glad I get to do a little bit of everything. But if I had to choose, concerts would be the thing I would choose because I can connect with people, which is my favorite thing about this. It’s a conversation. I say the most important thing I have to say and the audience responds.

Sometimes, I get to meet people after the show and we talk about the show and other things, their families and what’s important to them. I get to choose my own material and tell stories that are important to me.”
Odom said his concert tour is an allnew show.
“It’s exciting for me and the musicians that we consistently get to challenge ourselves and incorporate our own evolution into the music,” he said. “I’m not the same guy I was eight years ago or five years ago.”
Odom was included on the 2024 TIME100 list as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world.
“I’m no fool, there are a lot of metrics on how well known you are and how popular you are. There are people much more famous and popular than I,” Odom said. But he is gratified that he has made an impact from his roles, including moments from “Hamilton” and ‘Purlie Victorious.”
“(The stage) is my first love. It’s so dear to me — the importance of a healthy American theater,” he said. For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Fitting opera for 50th season
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
“The Barber of Seville” seems an obvious fit for Indianapolis Opera’s 50th anniversary season opener.
PERFORMANCE
“‘The Barber of Seville’ happens to be the opera the company has produced more than any other show,” Indianapolis Opera General Director David Starkey said. “This is a testimony to (composer Gioachino) Rossini’s timeless popularity and perfect connection to pop culture. And in a time of great political rhetoric, why not offer up one of the best comedic shows to break up the division of our country and recognize that music is a great way to bring us all together?”
“After so many years of historic challenges in our country, we wanted to showcase how the oldest and largest opera company in Indiana can present the best productions and events,” Starkey said. “Indianapolis is a world-class city with the best music and classical presentations, and we always rise to the moment for the best celebrations.”
Starkey
“The Barber of Seville” is set for Nov. 1517 at The Tarkington at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Starkey said the opera company has been planning the anniversary for three years.
Starkey said the most significant event of the entire season will be the March 22 collaboration with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra at Hilbert Circle Theatre.
“The Grand Concert will feature over 15 world-renowned opera stars that will come back and join (Indy Opera Principal Conductor) Alfred Savia and (former Indy Opera Artistic Director) James Caraher and the Indianapolis Opera Chorus,” Starkey said. “This celebration will be the most elaborate operatic event in the city’s history and every artist is a current or former (Indianapolis Opera) performer of the past 50 years.”

The acquisition of Qumulex is part of Synerion’s ongoing expansion into several markets.
Inconvenient oversimplification
Commentary by Terry Anker
These handy little devices in our pockets, or pocketbooks, have proven to be game changers. Where we once ran to the phone to see who might be calling, we now ignore with aggrieved nonchalance wondering why the caller didn’t text us instead of causing us to endure their annoyance. Where we used to escape the vagrancies of office chatter, we now have a complete inbox with us everywhere from our daughter’s bat mitzvah to our root canal. And where we formerly opened our garage door by getting out of the car and walking over to it or, for lucky ones, by pushing a remote-control clicker clumsily attached to the visor in the Buick, we’ve downloaded an app. One purchases and installs a device that controls the garage door opener of our homes through an application we load on our smartphone, as if it is an awkward little clicker. It is handy if one has multiple doors and wishes to initiate them distantly. Perhaps we could open the garage for a worker while we sit remotely somewhere else. The
ESSAY
technology spawned by the capitalist system keeps us marching along.
There was hassle in replacing the occasional remote-control battery or in meeting the appliance repair person. Still, the modern age is yet to deliver us from toil. To make the garage door application work, it and its components must be independently updated, the internet and its incumbent technologies (router, providers, modem, etc.) must be functioning, and our phones must be current and connected. Otherwise, we sit in the rain waiting — the no-longer needed, old-fashioned remote batteries were long ago depleted. In our endless pursuit of convenience, just how much inconvenience are we willing to endure? In what ways do we complicate our lives in the name of simplification?
VIEWS
Someone make up my mind
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
I let my wife, Mary Ellen, make half the decisions in our home. We both agree that this fosters a better relationship and makes for a happier marriage. She told me to say that.
HUMOR
“Dick, I decided to change our next vacation,” she said. “Instead of the Bahamas, we are now going to cruise Antarctica.”
“Gee, don’t you think I should have been consulted on that decision?”
“Everything evens out,” she said. “When you change the oil, you decide on the brand. So, when I change our vacation plans, we are even. For example, I know you have expressed feelings on the milk I bring home from the supermarket.”
“Yes, I prefer 2 percent to 1 percent.”
“See? Now you made another big decision today. A good marriage is based on both of us making an equal number of choices. I have to rush off now and pick up the new car I decided we’re getting for you. To be fair, tonight you can pick out which rerun of ‘Law and Order’ we will watch.”
Quite frankly, I don’t really like making decisions. I hate the pressure. Last Sunday, for example, I was in the kitchen deciding on breakfast. Should I pop an English muffin in the toaster to see if green mold is flammable, or run out to the store to get some fresh bagels?
Bagels, it is.
Which car to take? If I take my car, I have to get gas, but if I take my wife’s car, she’ll ask me to stop at the car wash. And there, they always ask me what kind of freshener I want. Another decision.
I headed for the bagel shop in my wife’s Prius. Nuts. She is also low on gas. Will it be Shell or Marathon? Marathon is usually cheaper, but at Shell I have had more luck
“Quite frankly, I don’t really like making decisions. I hate the pressure.”
– DICK WOLFSIE
with the lottery tickets.
Now, I have 25 lottery tickets to choose from. More decisions. Anything but that stupid crossword puzzle scratch-off.
Which bagel shop? There are three places to buy bagels: Bearded Bagel, Panera Bread and Einstein Bros. I am so stressed out. At Einstein, things got worse. What kind of bagels did I want? Blueberry, garlic, poppyseed and asiago, to name a few. One of each, I said. Did I want a shmear on them? There were 12 choices, which gave me about 144 options, if I bought a dozen. No toppings. Did I want them sliced? Yes, slice half of them. My anxiety was building. Then I stared at the coffee choices. I decide no coffee. I was jumpy enough.
I had a headache. I needed a pharmacy. CVS or Walgreens? This was easy. They are both adept at over-the-counter meds.
I went to CVS and requested something for my throbbing head.
“Bayer, Tylenol, Advil, Motrin, or Aleve?” the druggist asked.
I headed home. It was time to see what my new car looked like.
