Once in a lifetime?

This morning I wake up to find a small Chinese woman sleeping about three inches from my nose.

And I look into that beautiful face,
next to my beautiful wife,
in our beautiful bed,
in our beautiful house,
and I ask myself,

How did I GET here?

Clearly, I let the days go by.

But I don't think it was the water that pulled me down.

I think it was a couple of very large vodka martinis--up.

Which is kinda funny when I think about it, because that's actually how I ended up with my first three kids too!

Same as it ever was ...

And yet, if you ask Vonne, time isn't holding up. Hell, time's just an asterisk.

So I say, let's head into the blue again, now that the money's gone.

Twice in a lifetime ....

Here comes the twister!

I heard that song for the first time right after it came out, on WBCN in Boston, one night back in high school, and it grabbed me. I went into Boston on the train that Saturday morning, in the rain, I remember the day clearly, to buy it. Their best song.

As an adoptive parent (two beautiful girls from Russia, 13 years ago) I often ask myself the same question. None of us should let the days go by.

It is the quintessential song.

Though my favorite TH song is "Naive Melody," Byrne's only love song.
