In praise of happy hour

A winsome observation about the darkened bar and the winding down of the day:
"Then, knees touching, neck muscles relaxing, brow drying in the cold dry air, we should drink. Certain things were put upon this earth for our enjoyment, and it’s wasteful and wicked to condemn them."
And this on smoking: “The passing of cigarettes leaves all phases of romance impoverished.”
The quotes come from an well-known author whose recent New York Times obit read, "Barbara Holland, Defender of Small Vices, Dies at 77." R.I.P.
