Quote of the (Fri)day

Survival. Not quite up to the standards of the Scotch, but a valiant attempt nonetheless. Extraordinary antics, to be sure. Today is a new one, as the schools close at noon in Newfoundland. C'mon boys. One game. One more win.

After the game it is home to Moncton for a quiet weekend. Should be amusing - I'll leave you to stir over this until the return. It is a memorable tombstone of the early 17th Century from Glasgow Cathedral, about a hundred yards or so from Birkbeck where I lived back in that glorious exchange year - and recently returned to at the close of the most recent sojourn abroad.

Wise words these. This weekend is for mirth, fellow passengers. For Time doth fly.

STAY PASSENGER AND VIOW THIS STONE
FOR UNDER IT LYIS SUCH A ONE
WHO CURED MANY WHILL HE LIEVED

SO GRACIOUS HE NOE MAN GRIEVED
YEA WHEN HIS PHISICKS FORCE OFT FAILED
HIS PLEASANT PURPOSE THEN PREVAILED
FOR OF HIS GOD HE GOT THE GRACE
TO LIVE IN MIRTH AND DIE IN PEACE
HEAVIN HIS SOUL HIS CORPS THIS STONE

SIGH PASSENGER AND SOE BE GONE
