we are just shadows

An evocative image, quiet, solitary, or even moody moment. Visual imagery: The moonlight reflecting off the glass, illuminating the amber liquid inside. A person’s life is like a shadow; it is temporary and incomplete without a greater reality.

Yep, whiskey wisdom. Can bring out the best and worst in us. Not all bad. Taking some right now for a terrible cold -- like medication. Wisely. My doctor says it is poison to the system. My wife, older than me, has out lived all of her doctors. Who knows?

my folks gave us a small shot of whiskey with honey when we were sick....always put me right to sleep. I know what you mean...may this old fashioned cure has value.
