Good Luck, Neighbor

I feel bad for the guy, he was out there all afternoon doing what took the kids and I a couple hours at most. We cleared the leaves off our lawns, we washed the cars; although one of mine was a motorcycle that I rode dry with just my Chargers hat on my head, you wore the familiar headband with matching socks, my wife is at work in scrubs, yours is dragging a brush along the rims of your Explorer in gloved hands of rubber, an Asian stepford wife perhaps, I helped my kid into a tree and yelled at him to climb it better, so don't feel like an ass that your voice cracked like a 14 year old boy's as you chased yours into the street for playing football in your 15+ newly raked piles of leaves. So good luck to you neighbor/lawn ninja. I won today, but it is early in our fued. Do not give up hope; even if I get a gym for Christmas and begin achieving the body of Brad Pitt in Snatch by the time I'm the same age, I might not get a gym, or I might wait a day or let two pass before installing it and working out religiously with the doors open wide. Good luck, neighbor.

Poor guy. The new neighbors two houses down from headband opened the garage doors last night to reveal a pool table, flag draped walls, and the familiar sounds of good times eminating into the street. I may decide to get to know these people.

A for sale sign went up on his yard this week. I think one of the criteria for purchasing that house is the self confidence to live within sight of my house!
