The other day, I asked an acquaintance of mine, “How are you today?”

He answered, “I’m livin’ the dream, baby, livin’ the dream!”

I thought that was the funniest thing I ever heard, and I laughed like crazy.

Well, since then, I’ve been responding the same way when folks ask me ‘how I am’. They always laugh out loud. I guess it’s better than the traditional, “Fine, and you?” response. I think I’ll keep it up.
