How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Line of Last Night

"Well, I've been drinking since 5, and it's 4."

Ouch is the word. Currently on the slow train home to relax with some home cooking, and it strikes me that the last time I was on a train, I left my camera aboard for marvelous Clifton to find. And before that, it was back in June 05 and the Eurostar from Brussels with cans of Jupiler littering our table, where I lost the time traveler's wife on some bench.

Oh the places you'll go. The movement of a train a gentle lullaby on my weary and hungover body. Will spend the extra hour tonight asleep.
