My neighbors...

Living in the senior citizen section of the neighborhood, a majority of my neighbors are snowbirds who go to Florida or Arizona or wherever it is that is warm for the winter. Well, the old people across the street have come home. I think I am a large part of their daily entertainment, which isn't saying much. If they weren't old, I would be concerned about their behavior and maybe even report them to the police. They had most of my life figured out before I even met them. He was able to tell me my occupation, the hours I work and my favorite cereal. Whenever I am outside working, he comes out too to mirror whatever activity I may be doing. If I am doing something they don't want to do, they sit on their porch and watch me. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary last summer, so I figure they are in their 80s. He told me that just after their kids came up to build a porch very similar to mine for their anniversary gift. But, if I'm that entertaining to them, good for me.......

On a more exciting note, I will be making my acting debut tomorrow!! Some film maker is coming to the hospital to film a movie about some old man dying in a nursing home. They are looking for extras, so I eagerly volunteered. I was told I would be in the background with Jon (my only friend that is just as excited about this) behind the nurses station. He told me I would have no lines. But, I've been practicing just in case. "These pretzels are making me thirsty." Yes, that is a Seinfeld episode when Kramer is in a movie as an extra. I'm pretty excited about tomorrow. I hope to get a copy of the movie because I am sure most of my friends and family won't believe me.

Wish me luck......
