I like that phrase, to "wet the other eye" ... but it's so rare that I have two drinks in a row, when can I use it....

Jim, that's an excellent suggestion. My dad's not in memory care yet, but we've attended (pre-Covid) a few sing-alongs in the memory unit. Just an amateur with her guitar, but it connects the men and women with their old selves for a little while. Maybe with vaccinations coming along, volunteering will be possible in another few months. I can't sing worth a darn, but I can read :-)

Interesting that many of our common phrases are from Shakespeare. I wish I paid more attention in high school :-/

Geez, Jim, you made me look up the rest of the quote because you didn’t put it all in! Ophelia: I shall the effect of this good lesson keep, As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother, Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven; Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, And recks not his own rede. I’m fooling with you but it did make me curious, so thanks!
