Mine is from the song 2112 by RUSH, where one man dreams of a world not controlled by the ruling elite:

“We’ve taken care of everything
The words you hear, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It’s one for all and all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why

We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our walls”

Live version - pre-anniversary tour of 2112 in 2012:

I beat a world record for the processing speed for several encryption algorithms and intrinsic functions; hence “code”, “toad” because I seem to just sit there and not say much and just work on the problems. Math is a professional necessity as a scientist and an engineer but it can be very interesting, and occasionally rewarding when it all comes together.

One of my favorite books is The Divine Comedy. Virgil plays prominently in The Inferno.

First, the important thing ......

Many thanks to our military men and women, past and present, and to their families for all you do and have done. You are awesome!

Now, for the question at hand. Being a fanatic of horror movies, especially vampire movies, I chose the name of my favorite vampire as my screen name. Since I’m a bit of a “vampire” in that I’m awake all night and go to bed with the sunrise, it fits. LOL!

Now, Texas songwriters I enjoy and believe are excellent writers are Delbert McClinton, Robert Earl Keen, Don Henley. Henley lives about 75 miles from me. in northeast Texas.

Yup Delbert is one of the best. FWIW, he taught John Lennon to play harmonica.

BTW, where can I here some of your songs?

Hey there Feathers! You’re still here? *HUGZ*
Just sitting around relaxing, watching tv, and thought I’d check FR for a bit.

Yep, it’s not been fun for y’all up there, has it. I still check in on the nest cam site to see what’s going on. More snow for y’all today.

Been chilly down here but no snow . . . . yet. Our turn’s coming.

LOL! Cold weather will do that to an old hen. Chuckle.

Woman it is cold out there. Spent the afternoon at a med supply business getting fitted for a knee brace, it is working well. I still have a lot of pain, but the brace helps support the broken down old knee.

Nothing complicated. I’m a U.S Navy veteran who spends as much time navigating the fine waters of Lake Cumberland as I can manage. Thus, lakecumberlandvet. And thanks for the Celtic Woman song.
