Isn't there a song... 
Red, red wine...
*Leans back against the Captain's wooden leg, sipping a margarita, munching chips and salsa, trying to remember the rest of the words, and idly watching the vast flat horizon.*
I am feeling really happy here in the sunshine with you all. 
...red red wine... ... something, something...

Red, red wine goes to my head,
Makes me forget that I still need her so.
Red, red wine, it's up to you.
All I can do I've done.

Spent a whole lotta time drinkin’ red red wine
Boy I felt so good ‘till I was out of my mind
They say there’s a party on the other side
But I ain’t leavin’ this place ‘till the bottles dried
I’ve felt so high since the other night
When my baby took away on a one way ride
I’ve been a no good body since she ain’t around
And there ain’t no dolly gonna keep me down
??

Say, mari-rae, haven't I had this deja vu before? I mean us two sitting together enjoying a sunny afternoon?

I was listening to cds and started putting the music together with my hootoo friends. JB has a great song for you, Pierce. "A Pirate Looks At 40" .
I don't know why you don't like his stuff.

The diamond plate hatch on the side of the mast open.
Out comes shagbark.
Whew, awfully cramped in there.
Good to be out in the sea air. I have spent too much time today
down in the quiz corner. Now I just want to relax and watch the sea.
