I'm Alright
| Today is my birthday. But not just any birthday , it's
the big 4-0. That's right, 40 years old, or 4 decades, or 0.4 centuries
old. It's days like today that make me consider my place in the world.
I had considered having a mid-life crisis, like pilfering from
my retirement account to buy a convertible
GTO (oops.. try here instead). All of those concerns were cut short when I came across direct evidence of the interconnectedness of life. Some things go beyond coincidence and display the hand of god working in our world. Here is one example. I have a "happy dance" called "The Squirrel". The Squirrel was conceived one drunken college night upstairs at the Bear back in the early 90's, and was directly related to the "Gopher Dance" from Caddyshack (shown above). It would have been called the "Gopher Dance", but as I stated it was a drunken college night. It turns out that the song the Gopher is dancing to is "I'm Alright" written by the fabulous Kenny Loggins. I haven't been much of a Kenny Loggins fan, but I do admire his hair. As it turns out Kenny was born on January 7th, 1948. Pure coincidence? I think not. Somehow Kenny Loggins and I have become eternally linked by the positive and uplifting message presented by the Gopher's magical movement. We're also both Capricorns, which I think has something to do with something. While I don't have footage of my particular dance, I have found a strong facsimile to it. Enjoy this dance at your next party, and be sure to praise Kenny's hair and the date of January 7th when you do so. |

Happy Birthday Lon!
Now comes the downhill slide, since it has been all uphill for the first 40 years.

You just ain't lived until you see Lon doin' the Squirrel on the floor with a troupe of belly dancers.

And afterwards you might want to kill yourself.
