As I learned from chapters past, it's important to try and stay in the chapter that you're in, and enjoy it while it's lasting.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Probably like many people right now.
I'm sorry for the ducks; I love foie gras.
I am in a space now where I can try anything; and with Pink Floyd we've always been in a space where we were able to try out anything.
