Second Wind

Wednesday, May. 19, 2010 - 12:38 a.m.

Thud!

Hi, folks, I'm here in Anaheim. Old Buddy Dave says howdy.

---

The minute we bumped through the door with my stuff, the cats began adoring my lovely black suitcases.

When we put them down on the floor, Laila jumped on the small one, laid down, and began projectile shedding.

So, basically, yeah. It's normal here.

In other news, Alan asked me to remove the inferences over on Facebook having to do with the word 'skank'.

I was hurting his feelings, you see.

When I finished marveling at his nerve, I then went ahead and did what he asked.

To have left it would have put me in a bad place akin to a Pyrrhic victory.

But wow. Nervy sort of fellow, huh? :-)

Special thanks to my patient husband John, who drove so carefully in stop and go traffic on Tuesday evening to get me to the airport.

And now, the one thing I almost never do -- oh hooray, song lyrics!

Omaha Dave, this is for you.

The song is called You're Only Human, and the artist is Billy Joel.

You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good
You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood
It's all right, it's all right
Sometimes that's what it takes
You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes
You better believe there will be times in your life
When you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool
So take it from me you'll learn more from your accidents
Than anything that you could ever learn at school

Don't forget your second wind
Sooner of later you'll get your second wind

It's not always easy to be living in this world of pain
You're gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again
It's all right, it's all right
Though you feel your heart break
You're only human, you're gonna have to deal with heartache

Just like a boxer in a title fight
You got to walk in that ring all alone
You're not the only one who's made mistakes
But they're the only thing that you can truly call your own

Don't forget your second wind
Wait in that corner until that breeze blows in

You've been keeping to yourself these days
Cause you're thinking everything's gone wrong
Sometimes you just want to lay down and die
That emotion can be so strong
But hold on
Till that old second wind comes along

You probably don't want to hear advice from someone else
But I wouldn't be telling you if I hadn't been there myself
It's all right, it's all right
Sometimes that's all it takes
We're only human
We're supposed to make mistakes
But I survived all those long lonely days
When it seemed I did not have a friend
Cause all I needed was a little faith
So I could catch my breath and face the world again

Don't forget your second wind
Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in
Don't forget your second wind
Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in

All right, that's it. Have a good Wednesday.
