Episode #160: The Penthouse


Just for a few moments, imagine you're not sequestered inside an amenity-free apartment complex or a tract home filled with the detritus of mass cancellations, but rather in a luxury-drenched, architectural promontory, being served grapes and spreadable cheese by a priapic orchardman or a stunning freyja, whichever your preference, listening to R&B gems from the years 1967-69. You may call this an aimless fantasy. We call it "Thursday."
