I met my friends Marie and Ruth at the Comet Ping Pong Pizzeria in DC for dinner before attending a book presentation. When we were seated at the table, Marie surprised us by informing us that we were on the very spot where the unhinged Floridian had fired shots to free children who were being held there as slaves by one of the 2016 presidential candidates as a result of his hearing Fake News. Remember?!
After sharing a dinner of interesting dishes, we went to Politics and Prose, one of the top ten bookstores in the nation, to hear a presentation by renowned Norwegian writer and war correspondent Asne Seierstad about her latest book, Two Sisters: A Father, His Daughters, and Their Journey into the Syrian Jihad.
