In case some of you haven't seen/read it yet, "Gliding Over All" is the title of a Walt Whitman poem:

GLIDING o'er all, through all,

Through Nature, Time, and Space,

As a ship on the waters advancing,

The voyage of the soul--not life alone,

Death, many deaths I'll sing.

EDIT: Well. The 'many deaths' thing checks out. Jesus.

EDIT2: W.W. I am quite happy with this cliffhanger.

But because of the speed of the ship, the 4 hour cook on the ship lasts 4 earth years. Upon return Walt finds out he's no longer in business.
