i do have my neighbors here, and they are like second parents and extended family to me so i do my best to keep up with them. today, i did good stuff on outing which meant a lot to both of us. thanks for the compliment- it makes me feel worthy of your do re mi self. i sure hope that if/when i am an octogenarian that someone gives a damn and hangs with me too (and genuinely wants to visit and help me out). perhaps i will be in utah by then and i can live in the garden like your own personal elder gnome 🙂
