One Week Anniversary

It's been a week since I've read any of the Rogers Park-related blogs. It started quite accidentally, but once I realized it had been a couple days, I thought, "I can do this!" Do I feel some symptoms of withdrawal? Yes. Do I find myself thinking, "I could fill the next five minutes by reading some ridiculously dramatic and vitriolic trash?" Absolutely. Do I twitch and sweat and mutter to myself? Well, yes, but that has nothing to do with this.

But: Do I feel better? Do I feel more positive about the people in my neighborhood? Do I feel better about people and humanity in general?

You bet'cha. It's beautiful outside and there's no room in this world for the petty bickering. And now that the weather is settling in, it's time to go back outside and play. I think I'll be moving this party back over to the other address, abandoned these many months.
