It was the first street party of the year, I’d been assured that these gatherings were a regular thing, but I was still surprised to have been invited. I’d only moved into the area following my recent divorce. I hadn’t intended to go, but with the kids at their dads for the weekend, I found myself at a loose end and thought why not?

Now we have played with our neighbor Ron before so it’s not that unusual but this just happened last night. We were jogging around our neighborhood like usual and we passed Rons. He was outside doing yard work so we just waved and kept running. Our next lap around he was still out but this time without a shirt, he was in decent shape for being an older man. We slowed to a walk for our cool down, i joked with my wife if we pass Ron’s again he might now have pants on, she said that wouldn’t be so bad. I asked her if she wanted to go in and play, she said why not spice up a Monday night.
