    Thanks Marco.

    I've downed a few Wernesgrüners and Spaten Pils tonight. One more and I'll be done.

    ...........................................

    I feel a song coming on:

    Now we sit here in our special place,
    all wearing our happy faces gladly.
    Sunlight appears in our world; our joy
    has been turned from badness.
    Now we've moved and left alone
    and it's easier that way.
    We are riding on rainbows
    and happy today.
    Now we move to the sun in every direction;
    we are cloaked in veils of mystic protection...
    joking a lot, smoking or not,
    floating our yacht off to freedom,
    voting to be Aquarian!
    I hold silver flashing metal in the palm
    of my petal hand, watching it quiver:
    to breathe too close is death -
    ah, but wat is breath but a way to deliverance?
    Soon we will all be joined
    in a great silver tube,
    wanting every one to come along,
    that means you too!
    Now we move to the sun in every direction;
    we are cloaked in veils of mystic protection...
    mapping the way, clapping to say
    we're happy today, and assured of
    the fact that we're all Aquarian!
    Hardly any money... who needs bread anyway?
    Well, I mean to say, it's just the read to freedom!
    Everything's too funny; we just ride along so high,
    watch the bad scenes floating by, who needs them?
    Soon we will all be joined
    in a great silver tube,
    wanting every one to come along,
    that means you too!
    Now we move to the sun in every direction;
    we are cloaked in veils of mystic protection...
    Lighting the path, righting the past,
    fighting the dark like centurions,
    writing our names as Aquarians!
    As Aquarians, but as Aquarians!
    Writing our names as we move to the sun,
    we're Aquarian

    Perverse being the primary attribute I feel.
