To any who invested a potion of their day to catch this program I apologize. It did not turn out to consist of the subject matter I supposed it would. But was a hybrid of occult symbolism and mysterious area 51 intrigues and their application to Top Secret military patches (for everyone's eyes only?). No Moog synthesizer, but it would have helped the presentation.
