Tomorrow is Denim and Diamonds, a fund-raising event held yearly at the Butler Country Club. It features a big raffle, the prize for which is a Mercedes. My parents won one year and have come close to winning again since, so they buy tickets to be in the running. But they never attend. I’ll be attending in their place, schmoozing with folks and eating the free food, doing my best impressions from Fletch and Caddyshack.
