Toast of the Week:

This is a
quote from Charles Henry Baker Jr.’s 1935 book The Gentleman’s
Companion  — it wasn’t written as a toast, but it works as one:

“
Each  of our experiences that fetches joyous memory of some friend, place
or adventure…is flaked with happy memory of a frosted glass, a smile and a sip
of something perfect”.  Here’s to us.
