Head Pain

Some days you wake up with a great and blinding pain in the head. I woke up this morning asking myself why Angelina Jolie's father was Richard Clayderman. And then I really woke up and spent some time wondering why I thought that was true. And now my head hurts.

Oh yes. I was on a Billy Joel binge last night (and that has nothing to do with my head pain, by the way). I came away laughing and feeling high after finishing off with The Downeaster, Alexa — especially this verse:

So if you see my Downeaster "Alexa"
And if you work with the rod and the reel
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
And I still have my hands on the wheel...

There's a marvelous thought hidden in there, one of the many in that song.
