2010

I just noticed there hasn't been a single post this entire year.  Which means two things - either this blog is dead or I've gotten lazy.  Unfortunately it's the later and I'm not all that sure the laziness is new.

My most recent event was the other day.  I had left the house and walked to my bus stop on a crisp cold sunny morning.  I had sat down and had just pulled out my book when all of a sudden there was Mr. Yellow House walking Rufus - they must have been just behind me.  Normally we usually just do a head nod or some sort of acknowledgment - sometimes a 'hello' even.  But this time, when I look up and see him, he stops and starts to tell me how they thought they had seen one of my boys (winston) out on their deck.  They were worried he had escaped but it turns out it was a neighbors cat that looks similar.  I mentioned that the boys love the bird feeder they put out - it's like cat TV.  He said they were just about to put it out and off he went.  A nice little exchange and we went on with our normal mornings.

The other news I don't think I've posted about (I'm too lazy to look up), is that after a series of short lived tenants in their back apartment, their daughter and son-in-law moved in.  I think it was this fall.  Maybe summer actually.  They leave their blinds open in the main room more than any of the other tenants.  Which means I've had to start pulling the blinds down a bit more often when I'm visiting the toilet.  Which is a bummer as there's nothing I like better than doing my business while looking out the window at the world going by.  However, I realize at night, even with the lights off, and especially when they are having dinner guests over (i.e. meaning there are eyes pointing in all directions including at my place), I really should draw the blinds.  I still probably don't do it often enough, but hey, we're neighbors.  That's gotta mean something.

Well, that's 2010.  We'll see what 2011 brings!
