yes, the subject is an adjustment to a King Crimson lyric, sung/spoke by Adrian Belew. And Leslie is a big fan of King Crimson, especially the Fripp/Belew/Bruford/Levin lineup. And Leslie got me started on this post (in which I once again proclaim my love for my wife), as I'm sitting in the library listening to Wingspan by Paul McCartney, luxuriating in the warm waters of my new stereo. I love Leslie, and not for buying this for me, but for fighting me when I didn't want it, that I felt shame over having so much money spent on me. Which leads me to my thoughts on shame. I am, through Leslie's efforts, making great strides in my reducing the amount of shame I choose to carry with me. I work hard at my job, and if there was a serious societal viewpoint that truly saw the value of putting emotionally stable children out into the world, well, I'd be making bank. However, it is high time that I became comfortable with the fact that I don't bring money into the house. I have been a major contributor to my children's happiness and their brains becoming strong muscles. I have made my wife happier than she's ever been in her life. Wall street may not be bullish on these kinds of futures, but I am. You watch for my kids, they'll be leading the parade toward world peace.

You should be happy. You have more money in your pocket since Bush has given you a tax break. Also, if you like King Crimson, you should give Benny Cantini a listen. He is like a softer, more bar room version.
