Ep. 9: Au Revoir
Our last episode, at least for a bit. Brief dog conversation: Maura's horrible dogsitting experience + Bill's L.A. movie star pup. COVID rampant everywhere, idiocy and greed also. Trump won't leave. Democrats won't change. Is there any hope? Spoiler: we do not know! But we will keep trying to find it. Until we meet again...
