Re: How to Alienate Your Neighbors

Walking Boris this morning, I saw that neighbor in her driveway. I went

over and aopologized for my previous bad manners, briefly but clearly and

sincerely.

She was a perfect lady, laughed it away, told me not to give it a moment’s

thought, and wished me a MERRY CHRISTMAS.

If only all our messes could be cleaned up that easily!
