"Now is the time to drink and dance. Feel free to stamp the earth now, Fancy food should be laid out on couches of the gods." Horace (65-8 BCE)
This comes from the rhyming translation of Homer by Len Krisak.

Nice juxtaposition with my life Gina. I was just checking up on fellow Saybrookians (Saybrookites?)and there's Horace summarizing death in a coupla' sentences. We had a 24 year old co-worker die in a car accident this weekend, so our office has been bouncing around in making sense of it. Your timing is emmaculate. thanks and hope to see you in as many days as we have left until school..ps i'm bringing my daughter if you wish to consolidate your dowry proposal.
