You two must've been really close. <BR/><BR/>About the pirates, you have the solution precisely right.

Wrong clever? Nevermind. As for the pirates, yeah it would be nice if the UN grew a pair, and decided to do something about them, but I don't expect that glorified group of "thugs in suits" to be any kind of useful. YMMV.<BR/><BR/>As for your "stax of wax" ... Bridge Over Troubled Waters; naybe the biggest commercial success for S and G, and not a bad tune. Guitar Gently Weeps is one of the few Beatles songs I really liked (Blackbird and Norwegian Wood, and When I'm 64, being the three others.) Any Tull works for me. <BR/><BR/>Came over this way via "Local Malcontent", will be stopping by again soon. Understand the muse being flighty, has happened to me more then once (along with work sapping any and all creativity out of me before I am able to get to the keyboard.
