The last week has been incredibly bland. Not bad, just sort of there.
I think maybe this last week is a bit like the new neighborhood I’m moving to soon. It isn’t a great place where everybody is friends and the morning paper is delivered by little Billy. However, it isn’t somewhere that the loud noise you just heard might be someone firing a shotgun at your house over a drug dispute. (That’s more Jeff’s house, don’t worry, they got the house numbers wrong. Drug dealers aren’t typically scholars.)
My new hood is a strange concoction of those two extremes. Two blocks down one in four houses is condemned or should be. Turn the corner and go a couple of blocks and you have a Methodist church and a synagogue flanked by a building built for rich widows and their servants. I have actually seen people hopping out of dumpsters next to BMWs over there.
My last week has been like that neighborhood. Nothing alarming has taken place, but nothing particularly exciting has either. Actually, let me temper that, nothin exciting that I can talk about here has taken place. There were some surprise strip searches at the prisons I work in, but I can’t really go into detail on that.
Perhaps a sameness to the world is the most horrifying thing. Jeff and I have plans to liven up my little neighborhood. We’re going to feed the ducks with a siege weapon. I’m sure there will be pictures.
Tune in next time. Just do it without a reason for once, okay.
