Remember the play
You Can't Take it With You, by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart? The
movie version came out in 1938, in the midst of the Great Depression. Making life a drudgery of all work and no play makes no sense. Our lives and work must retain (and even celebrate) an element of play and humor to help keep us sane. Please entertain yourself with the following. Feel free to suggest others that I'll add with discretion.
The 1920s and 30s seem to me like a more civilized time to me in some ways. Robert Messenger offers something we can learn from that era in
The Cocktail Renaissance (from the Weekly Standard).
