As a cure for worrying, work is better than whiskey.
    —     Ralph Waldo Emerson
[Which (somehow) reminds me of the Willie Nelson lyrics:
“There’s an ol’ doctor who told me
That I better start slowin’ it down.
But there’s more old drunks
Than there are old doctor’s
So I guess I better have another round.”
From his song:  “I Gotta Get Drunk”    —    kmab]

Memory Lane

Lyrics:
I stumbled on this photograph,
It kinda made me laugh
It took me way back,
Back down memory lane
I see the happiness,
I see the pain
Where am I?
Back down memory lane
I see us standing there,
Such a happy, happy pair
Love beyond compare,
Look-a-there, look-a-there
The way you held me,
No one could tell me that love would die
Ohh, why did I have to find this photograph,
Thought I had forgot the past
And now I’m slippin’ fast,
Oh, back down memory lane
I feel the happiness,
I feel the pain
Here am I,
Back down memory lane
I’m in the sunshine,
I’m in the rain
Thought it was over,
Here I go again
The way you held me,
No one could tell me
That love would die
I don’t wanna go traveling down
Faster than the speed of sound
Back down memory lane
Be still my foolish heart
Don’t let this feelin’ start
Back down memory lane
I don’t wanna go
Back down memory lane
Save me,
Save me
Back down memory lane
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Back down memory lane
