Cabin Fever

Being snowbound and fighting off cabin fever there is a tendency to seek solace with a few friendly spirits:
-An Iowan editor with a Labrador puppy named Margaux said "We name all our dogs after wines we can't afford."
-Bing Crosby used to say he was going to Nashville to visit Jack Daniels grave.
-I had a friend who drank cheap rye because he liked its lumps.
-My late friend, Cletus K., told me he liked restaurant X because their martinis were so dry that in the mens' room instead of urinals they had dustpans. That's pretty dry.
-And all this shall pass.
