New Magic Valley Fun Town (Part 1)

Published: Jan. 6, 2022, 5:10 a.m.

By Daniel MacIvor. Dougie is excited and maybe a little nervous as he prepares his mobile home in Cape Breton for a party with his childhood best friend. He hasn\u2019t seen Allen in 30 years, and if Facebook is to be believed, he\u2019s now a fit university professor who, unlike Dougie, still has his hair. Dougie\u2019s church-going ex-wife Cheryl and their depressed adult daughter Sandy are there for the reunion. They bicker as they prep the booze and snacks for Allen\u2019s arrival when Sandy upsets Dougie about Allen\u2019s childhood nickname.
