moonlight

How did I not know that George “The Boss” Steinbrenner, the late Yankees owner, moonlighted for the New York State Liquor Authority?

When the family moved to California in 1962, Jan took a job as a janitor, and moonlighted as a freelance jazz musician with some fellow Dutch players.

I suppose I could have avoided those moonlight bathroom trips with a sleeping pill, but that would have only masked the bigger problem: I wanted to quit drinking and couldn’t.
