When I was a kid, I was obsessed with this idea of opening a restaurant back in Indiana on a little pond. The guests would order their dinner and then take a little boat out with a colored flag on the front of it. When the matching color of the flag on their boat went up on a flag pole, their dinner was ready! ↗

Go now, verses, on your light feet, you have not trodden hard on the old earth where the graves laugh when they see their guests, the one corpse stacked on top of the other. Go now and stagger to her whom I do not know. ↗

Dessert is probably the most important stage of the meal, since it will be the last thing your guests remember before they pass out all over the table. ↗

Your baby only needs a lot of light at night if he's reading or he's entertaining guests. ↗
