Actually, I meant I wanted to try ALL those old elixirs--and see hiw much better (or worse) I might be...P.S. at some future poetry reading i hope you give those gathered you're musical rendition of "Sumer is icumen in"--espec. how you'd handle, "Sing cuckoo..." THAT would be worth the price of admission...
