Back in the Saddle Again.

Hi Gang. Well, I’ve officially become fully integrated into the Matrix. I’ve purchased a mini-van. Is it ironic that the same year I turn 40, is the year I purchase a mini van? A few weeks ago while waiting for a meeting, the oldies station in Baltimore was playing in the background. After endless Kenny G and Celine Dion “two-fers,” I heard the familiar strains of “With or Without You” by U2. Could this be right? Was the radio station taken over by a renegade band of vigilantes bent on ridding the planet of crappy music? Nope! The song played on and for the first time in my life, I felt old. When that song was released in 1987, it was bigger than big. It transcended music. It was art,poetry and the answer to all the world’s problems wrapped in album form, to me anyway. I’m getting the gray at the temples, tired all the time and someone actually called me old when they saw 1969 on my drivers license as my date of birth. Bad form in my opinion! LOL. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that her shoes did not match her bag. The Horror!
40 is the new 20 right.? The thing is though, there’s no college keggers, semi-formals or final exams in my future. Nope. I’ll be busy going to brownie meetings, shopping for WebKinz and monitoring Hannah Montana’s latest episode for coming signs of the apocolypse. Is the Hannah Montana phenomenon the secret 8th Seal opend by the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse? She’s 15 and has an autobiography about her thoughts on life and such. What do you know at 15, save the fact that you know everything? I better not get too far into the Hannah Montana controversery, lest Billy Ray comes after me and tries to Achy Breaky my face.
Check out the site in a few weeks as we’ll be raising our prices on a few things. This is long overdue as I haven’t raised them in 3 years. Hope you all are enjoying the great weather.
Felt exactly the same way when I saw the HUGE news about Miley Cyrus. I bet it’s gonna be like, totally, like, amazing!
