Been There Done That Life

I have been sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly black leather poppa chair in my living room, cleverly disguised as a responsible adult for quite a while now. It has taken some time, but I have come to the "Been There Done That" place in my life. It's a comfortable place. A place where I can safely sit back, breathe deeply and say Huh to the great confusions that are all around us.
I just saw a commercial that rates a big Huh. It's a super on the screen that says the people in this commercial are real people not actors. As some of you know I have done more than my share of voiceovers for TV commercials. People who do TV voiceovers are called voice actors. So I am an actor, but the IRS seems to feel that I am never the less a real person, who better send them the appropriate tax on what I have been paid as an actor. That doesn't affect very many people, so that just gets a single breath Huh?
I have just read a book written by a very well known smart guy doctor. It gets a three breath Huh? The essential premise of the book is that we are all just walking, talking, sacks of chemicals and electrical connections. Sorry doctor. That gets a great big three breath HUH. I have held a newborn baby in my arms, and I have watched my beautiful , sexy Lady Wonder Wench walk up a flight of stairs in tight jeans, and I have heard John Lennon sing Imagine there's no heaven. And along with a half million other New Yorkers, on a late Summer night in Central Park what seems like a lifetime ago, I have heard the New York Philharmonic doing Beethoven's Fifth. And Sinatra singing Nelson Riddle's arrangement of I've Got You Under My Skin. Just a sack of chemicals and sparks? Huh! I don't think so
