The Private’s Martini: 6 Parts Gin, 1 Drambuie, 1 Lemon Twist.
His life as a boy in Cincinnati was no different than any other kid’s in Ohio. He recalled building snow forts in cold Januarys, doing jumps on his Huffy over narrow creeks, and enjoying fireworks on the Fourth of July, awed by their bursting rainbow colors and explosive brilliance in the night sky. Love from his parents was plentiful, gifts were abundant, and spoiling him was something his parents didn’t lack. He told me that there wasn’t a day that went by without a hug from his mother, but not so much from his father. He said he had a happy childhood, even if he felt a little unloved by his father.
Grade school at Hinder Elementary in Cincinnati was not as pretty as he had hoped it
