Hey, A,

How was dinner?

I must say that your neighborhood is intriguing to me. You all seem to spend a lot of time together, share meals a lot, pop in on each other...Sometimes it sounds like a college campus, where there's really no privacy--just one, big happy community. Other times, I feel like I'm reading about a fictional neighborhood or watching a TV show. It sounds more like back in the day, but even then--when the village did raise the child--parents kept to themselves. Or at least that was my experience growing up. Nowadays, L lives in a neighborhood where the kids are close in age, and as a result they do socialize--but not nearly as much as you. M and her kids don't have any interaction with their neighbors, but that's another story entirely. Anyway. I've been meaning to mention that. Interesting indeed.

It snowed last night in a portion of CT and a good chunk of the Northeast. Incredible. I wonder if that says anything about the winter that's in store. Today it just looks and feels like a brisk fall day.

I don't have anything tonight so I'll write some more later. Just wanted to respond to your post last night and wish you a happy day today.

Love, B
