![]() ![]() ![]() Many thanks to the Dardens and their book club friends for a pleasant experience that proved therapeutic for me. I have to admit that I couldn’t concentrate on what she was saying as I looked at that tongue and tried to suppress a laugh. Another wore one with the Rolling Stones’ tongue-stuck-out logo. One woman sported a mask with big red lips. Wilson Golden, a politically active friend of mine from Mississippi, wore a mask that said: “Vote” (which played well with the topic of my talk: politics and barbecue). Everyone wore a mask - some of them quite interesting. ![]() We met under a picnic shelter in Riverside Park on the north side of Gainesville, 20 or so people well-distanced at tables and on folding chairs. Johnny is a medical doctor, a retired surgeon, so I figured they would have a proper respect for the virus. Sally assured me that the club would meet outdoors, in a park, and would take precautions against the coronavirus. The Dardens come from Sparta, Ga., and are neighbors of my mother’s family, the Yarbroughs. So when Johnny and Sally Darden invited me to speak to their book club in Gainesville - in person - I was intrigued. ![]()
