It depends on what you read. [He grins.] Some people say it's simply the axis of the world is celebrated and others say it's for the worship of Priapus. I'll go with axis of the world, since it's Germanic in tradition and Pripaus is Roman... and we know how Romans and Germanic Tribes got along. Not entirely swimmingly.

Of course. I'm melancholy because of such a busy years, month... week. It's nice to sound it out. Thank you for letting me do that, Sophie.
