The very best gift of all is having a friend. ~Ethel Pochocki

 LET us drink and be merry, dance, joke, and rejoice,

With claret and sherry, theorbo and voice!
The changeable world to our joy is unjust,
All treasure’s uncertain,
Then down with your dust!
In frolics dispose your pounds, shillings, and pence,
For we shall be nothing a hundred years hence.
-Thomas Jordan
