...this lifelong affair with the sea, all the romance of it, since I was a child. Everybody in Liverpool had somebody in the family who went to sea. You looked at other people, and they seemed like little gray people who worked in offices and taught in schools.

December 8 is also Jim Morrison's birthday, although the annoying inconvenience of death puts a damper on things. Light a fire in memory...
