On eccenrics next door neighbors

Living in close proximity of eccentric neighbors/friends can be such an exhilarating thing!. They will help you to reopen your eyes, realize that your life does not have to be defined by the fence of your backyard. That it is OK to fall in love again with your wife of thirty, forty, or fifty years. That a total power blackout is nothing but an incentive to climb in some precarious perch in the dark to sacrifice that nice bottle of Single Malt kept for a special occasion . That a blizzard in South Dakota was a darn good excuse for a crazy snowmobile ride in the streets of the city covered by a few feet of snow, said coverage including of course the patrol cars of said City finest. You learned again that it was OK to mourn the death of a butterfly and that a good movie was worth either some great laugh or a few tears at time. Those are the things that eccentric neighbors next door bring to your life to take it to a higher plane……until that fateful day when they come running, short of breath with that flash of passion in their eyes to inform you of their decision to learn to play either Cello or Bagpipe!
