one more drink and I’ll move on

Yes, this scene DID remind me of a song lyric! Thanks for asking. This time it was from the Dave Matthews Band’s song “Grace is Gone.” (Specifically “One drink to remember and another to forget.”)

Here’s a relatively short live version of the song.

True story: my commute to work takes about 35 minutes, and if I start with the 2007 MGM Grand concert version of “Seek Up”  and follow it with “Dancing Nancies” from the same show, that’ll get me all the way to the office.

A couple of things here

First of all, it may come in handy to know that you can apparently get a handful of cemetery flowers for a dollar.

Second, this should quiet, forever, those doubters who say that cats do not go to heaven. Obviously they do: why else would this cat have angel wings?

Angel, grounded

And here’s a cemetery angel, helpfully illustrating “dust to dust” for anyone who happens by.

“There is no death.”

The back of this elaborate tomb was engraved with a quote from Elizabeth Parker, who said, “There is no death. There is no forever gone.”

It is on her own tombstone, and she died in 2011, at age 16.

Fountain

A detail of the hotel’s fountain, which was a popular place for photos. On Saturday morning, as guests were arriving for a wedding, there was practically a line of dressed-up folks ready to pose for the camera. Or phone.
