The Drug-Friendly House
BY Greg Hollingshead
Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

I first heard about the drug-friendly house when Julie from three doors down stopped by on her way home from work to check if we were coming to the meeting. When I asked what meeting, she said, Ask Patsy.

Patsy’s on a walking tour of Bhutan, I told her. You’ve caught me in the middle of writing her an email. Maybe she meant to delegate me and forgot. She was pretty frazzled by the time I got her to the airport.

It’s about the drug-friendly house, Julie said.
