“Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.”   —   Lord Byron

(Spoken like someone who died at the tender age of 36!  He was only married for about 9 years.  Had this dude lived to the ripe old age of 60 or 70 he probably would have revised this quote some.  But, then he might not be remembered so much as such a romantic.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(Pretty predictable, this one.  Felt like a re-run.  No new clue words, today.  We did have two new jumblings though, in “galley” and ” forbid”.  Well, new to me at least.  The answer letter layout made for a good jumble.  In the background of the cartoon you can see both a down and an up escalator.  The salesman looks a little like my son!  The one in the cartoon.  The one in the picture looks older than me.  Grumpier too!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
