A Tale of Two Agents: Chapter Twenty-Two. Twas a Very Good Year

Dec 14

““But now the days grow short, I’m in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine from fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs and it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year.””

— Lyrics from It Was a Very Good Year, Frank Sinatra

Our wish is that wherever you are, you are toasting friends and family and preparing to take a break from a very good year, be it financially or personally successful, with so many things to be grateful for.

We thank all of you for supporting another year of DropCap, for great conversations and dialogues, and for your ongoing love of books, and as Fairs indicate, of wine and long friendships!

Trooper is a dog whose owner was the first ever female casting director at Paramount Pictures, and cast such greats as The Godfather and Love Story. Click here to read more about the launch →
