I have no idea how this is going to sound. My desktop caught a virus so I'm doing this on an older laptop and the sound isn't very good. Also, when I previewed it I got "this plug-in is vulnerable and should be updated" instead of the video. Probably just my machine. I hope it works. Later.

Fixer and I have been known, whether famously or notoriously mox nix, to do our own brand of "The Dance Of Joy". If we do it simultaneously we are great white gamboling bookends to the nation.
