She said, uh, no, the foxes are already licking their chops. I can also identify with the adoration of good neighbors. After years and years of moving, I have a recurring fantasy in which all of my dearest friends share a cul de sac with me...the actual location is a bit fuzzy but it's somewhere in that magical place that's close to everybody everywhere.
