“When you’re alone and life is making you lonely you can always go downtown. When you’ve got worries, all the noise and the hurry seems to help, I know, downtown. Just liten to the music of the traffic in the city. Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty. How can you lose? The lights are much brighter there. You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares. So go downtown. Things will be great when you’re downtown. No finer place for sure, downtown, everything’s waiting for you.” ~Lyrics sung by Petula Clark

“Don’t stay angry about anything for more than a week, but don’t forget what made you angry. Hold your anger out at arm’s length and look at it, as if it were a glass ball. Then add it to your glass ball collection.  ~ Ron Padgett

and there you will always long to return.”  ~ Leonardo da Vinci
