I was in a restaurant and music was playing in the background. A son of a friend said, "I never heard this song before."
I said, "It's a classic."
He said, "I know, I just never heard this version before."
I said, "This version is a classic."
He repeated, "I never heard it before," and looked at me quizzically (as if I had two heads). Mind you, he's a music teacher.
The song: Light My Fire by Jose Feliciano.

No, that just means you went to my high school where the girls got pregnant by 10th grade. Don't forget the few that got pregnant in 8th grade (technically that's jr. high but whatever)

Posted: 8/19/06 at 11:22pmSM2 will be in for a rude awakening IF he's lucky enough to live a few more years. They're not guaranteed, you know. And the fact is, the older you get, the more you appreciate the time you've been given.

"... IF he's lucky enough to live a few more years."
Why do I suddenly feel there's a contract on my life?
