everyone in my neighborhood is away.

Word of the day:  grubstake\GRUB-stayk\ verb: to provide with material assistance (as a loan) for launching an enterprise or for a person in difficult circumstances.

"Do not let time pass without accomplishing something.  Otherwise you will regret it when your hair turns gray."  Yue Fei, Army General (1103-1141)

A couple of days ago, I realized that with the exception of the house at the very beginning of my street, everyone other than me is away this week.  Makes for an empty neighborhood this week.  Not that I even know my neighbors, but it is nice to know they are around, I guess. 

I was awakened by the phone ringing. I arose to my brother hounding me for money.
