Regarding the ironic appropriateness of the last post's heading

The last post was titled "Delusions of Adequacy" as a reference to my book (TBWCYL) which wanted me to write the iconic opening line of my great novel today, offering such examples as "Call me Ishmael" and "Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins." And while I do not have a first line for my book, I have long held a title (Delusions of Adequacy) for my memoir. Ironically, the title on that post implied a disturbed dissatisfaction with the American government, which may well be true, but I'm not about to ramble about it on my blog. How passe.

But, to be sporting, here's my shot at the first line for Delusions of Adequacy: The Life and Times of Ben Harpe:

"The day I was born, I had my whole life ahead of me."

And here's my band name and first album, while I'm at it:
