Unicorns, Clark W. Griswold, and Travelling in a Pandemic

Summer! As seasons go in the ol’ NWO, summertime is our unicorn… a mythical beast that always seems like it’s just around the corner but never quite within reach. And when we finally get a glimpse, it feels like it’s gone before we really get a chance to enjoy it.
