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!
