In 2018 my neighbor stole $40 from me (I got it back). In 2021 an anonymous neighbor stole my Yankee Candles from our lobby. In 2023 I did the PETTIEST thing I’ve ever done in a parking war with a different neighbor. And now, in 2026, we have a new entry to the...

Believe it or not, we need comments. We can’t grow by ourselves. Or should I say, you grow much faster with the help of others. I don’t know who Prashanth Selvam is (I assume a Sam Ursinus friend), but with a constructive comment he helps revise my style...
