Greetings. The beard is still growing, or so I think anyway.. in any case it has not been cut or trimmed since you last saw it, and I reaffirm my vow not to do so until all the guns fall silent... AND.. even until no more hungry babies cry. :-(

Anyway, a Mate dropped in this morning and asked me how the peace protesting was going.. So I said; "Well Shipmate, as you can see, the beard still groweth, at any rate it doesn't really seem much longer than last year, but I think it's wavier! Hmm.. so I think it's longer but the waviness gives it a spring that keeps it up... Oh dear, I do hope they're not going to force me to grow it to my navel. I am such a handsome young chap without it after all... :-) :-) Well, anyway, you can judge for yourself because Prometheus (one of his many names), says to me, look what I just bought, and produces a cute little $169 digital camera. So I said Aha, let's update ye olde website with a song.

Hmm ... I thought!..  right now it feels like we're about 2000 light years from home, and I have my "Mr. Not-a-Nice-Guy" t-shirt on! :-) :-)

Hmm... t'inking t'inkin' thinkin' ;-) :-) :-)

So I says to him - over smoko and coffee, alright, I know what I'll do, as you know, I won't wear a 'suit' of white under the present circumstances, especially as dear Johnny (Soul-Man) Cash has now so recently transmogrified to our loss and Heaven's gain... but I will put on a white shirt of hope and play "2000 Light Years From Home" for them.. After all, who cares what colour the desert sand is, as long as we're all safe! :-) Hee hee.

Dddrrrrrrrrrrrrt-duh-dah-duht-duhm  DduURrrrrrrrringg    :) :) Pity we didn't capture that cute little intro on video and the opening E minor there. :-) Pity you can't hear me come to that. Never mind we're working on that. Ho Ho :)  (Thanks Rolling Stones - Good one, sorry I haven't heard yours since the 'sixties, but this mob 'round here seem to like the way I do it anyway. ;-)

Once more.........

I'll sing a song for you....

" Sun turning 'round with Graceful Mo oo Shu hhhhn.....

We're setting off with soft Ex Plo oo Zjern...

(Explosion)

(Oh yeah) [|:^}

Bound for a Star with fiery Oceans..     (Trust me I'm an Alchemist :))  It's so very lonely 

you're a 

hundred light years 

from home!

Freezing red deserts turn to Darrrrk...

En Er Gee in ev er y Part..    (Don't be scared of the Fire folks, feel the Energy) :-)

It's so very lonely, you're six hundred light years from home.  :-) :-)

(C'mon now everybody, sing the chorus with me)

It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home.

Bell Flight Fourteen you now can land...

see you on Alderberan...

Safe on those green desert sands...

(C'mon Everybody)

It's so very lonely you're two thousand light years from home, it's so very lonely you're two thousand light years from home, it's so very lonely you're two thousand light years from home..   "

(And it is nice to let that last E minor ring, it's so bitter-sweet-evocative. :) )

"A time for love, a time for hate, a time for peace, I swear it's not too late"
