Since we sold our house and returned to apartment living, our neighbors have become less distinct to me. Not having land to take care of, sidewalks to shovel, and buildings to maintain creates a more anonymous sense of who my neighbors are.
But this morning one of my neighbors had, sometime in the morning before we ventured outside, become the Vice Presidential candidate of the Democratic Party. So that was kind of a big deal, and hard not to notice. News crews were all over the place and we were very proud. I mean, how many of your neighbors have ever become Vice Presidents?
Yes, zero. But don't worry. I'm sure your neighborhood is very nice anyway.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
