Just in case you haven't been paying attention-the title is "what's up?" Same question, different day... got it? For the next post or two, I'll be unwinding from a volatile weekend...
It's the beginning of summer. The real heat has yet to arrive for its usual visit from hades...so I ask again, what's up?
My block was particularly loud this past weekend. Flashing lights, slamming cursing rattling music, the works. Did I miss a memo? Was it Argue With Everyone Day? Something Hallmark must have missed.
Where do I start? Fine, at the end of this little piece of the American Dream, round one. Families against families? I'm not really sure of the main characters. At least one group has been here for as long as we have...Their brand of dysfunction often clashes with that of the family across the street-there are young children involved. This round usually just involves cursing and shouting-police showing up just occasionally. Let's move on or rather down, closer to my end where the real fun is!
There is another family unit, guardians of the block-maybe...no one quite understands their grip on this crumbling section of urban delight. Their battles seem to be mainly territorial, a twisted fairy tale, with all of them cast as the trolls just forgetting to ask the three questions...the rest of us daring to cross the bridge without the necessary permission.
Well, there are of course more rounds...you'll have to come back.
