The Mystery Next Door

Several friends have asked me how my new neighbor is working out.  Well, considering how annoying, rude and obnoxious the last neighbors were, this guy is a prince!  I never hear him and rarely see him.  Part of that, I attribute to his hours.  I mentioned that he works for Fed Ex.  What I forgot [...]

Bad Neighbor Update

All my regular readers know that I live next door to the Rudes, the most inconsiderate neighbors anyone could be cursed with.  But, before I address them, I want to exonerate my neighbor Marcia who lives on the other side of me.
You might remember that she was the one whose guests at Christmas drove not [...]
