Neighborhood Watch

        This is a True Story. These events occurred Wed, April 6, 2011

        Early this morning,( 4 am ) as I was setting out my trash can,
        I thought about what a good day was coming this way.
        The air was cool, the neighborhood was quiet, and there was
        real sense of calm.
        I stood in my driveway, leaned against my car, and just enjoyed it
        for a few minutes. I started to get an uneasy sense that I wasn't
        alone. There were no sounds of car engines, or doors opening, or
        voices, but I could tell something was not quite right. I saw no
        one, but thought I was being watched.
        I decided to go back in the house and as I turned towards the
        door I saw something in a neighbors front window. Sitting in
        the sill, between the curtain and the glass, was their family cat.
        I wondered if it was watching me the entire time. Mystery solved.
        So I waved as I went inside my house and considered updating
        the "hobbies or special skills" section on my resume to
        include Cat Entertainer.
        Cats are amazing creatures that observe so much, but say so
        little. I think that their point of view on life would make
        interesting reading. Unfortunately, they absolutely refuse to
        write anything down using a keyboard, they seem to prefer the mouse.
