And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself: well...how did I get here?
"Once in a Lifetime" - Talking Heads
The Big Blue Bin was delivered yesterday, exiling us from the driveway for the duration, the world's most expensive trash can. A fitting metaphor for what Susan and I are embarking on. Out with the old, in with the new. Nine years after buying the house, here we go...No more circa-1980 formica, linoleum, hardware store fixtures, and Cold-War era heating panels (Duck! and Cover). After all, this is Fairfield County, where homeowners will drop $150k on a kitchen redo without batting an eye.
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
