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.

that on the Vitals preys

"Made from cheap corn and fermented juniper berries, gin was partly responsible for the rising crime and lower life-expectancy in London, where gin mills frequently advertised "drunk for a penny, dead drunk for two pence, clean straw provided."

Beauty. Storm in Halifax, hunkered down in the old Henry House on a steady flow of microbrew. On that third pint, when the brain begins its tingling and the point of no return gets crossed. Roll on to the unexpected, the wind and rain say, roll fuckin' on.
