A Literary Puzzle (sort of)
In his new book THAT OLD CAPE COD MAGIC, Richard Russo, author of EMPIRE FALLS, MOHAWK, NOBODY'S FOOL, and a bunch of other good books, places his main character in a bar called the Old Cape Cod Lounge near Wellfleet. On the wall above the bar is an intricately lettered sign. At first, Griffin, the main character can't read the sign. The bartender tells him, "A couple martinis and it'll make sense." Alcohol assisted or alcohol free, can you read the sign?

I didn't get it until I read the book, but I love that story and now a hand-lettered copy hangs on my doorway.
