It also actually cites a trend too familiar in today's world.
And, though they think me a bit nuts...I keep an eye on all the neighbors, which ain't many, and visit some of the old folks from our church.
Usually without pre announcing m'self, though. More fun for them, that way.
This is actually a reflection of a bad time in my life...not too far in the past.....except for the ending, of course.
Can only hope things are better.
