Very nice Rob, a little culture for us to drive away our hangover's. I don't have one of course as I was a saint last night and had only one drink. Problem was someone kept filling the darn thing back up :-)

And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen, Though many times they've seen the way to leave. He rides majestic Past homes of men Who care not or gaze with joy, To see reflected there The trees, the sky, the lily fair, The scene of death is lying just below. The mountain cuts off the town from view, Like a cancer growth is removed by skill. Let it be revealed. A waterfall, his madrigal. An inland sea, his symphony. Undinal songs Urge the sailors on Till lured by the siren's cry. Now as the river dissolves in sea, So Neptune has claimed another soul. And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen, Until the Shepherd leads his flock away. The sands of time were eroded by The river of constant change. Name the Band, and the Album, no fair using Google or any other search engine, either. Happy New Years, all! -- "In our family, there is no clear line between religion and fly fishing."
