My neighborhood today...

is full of kids passing by decked out. Boys are wearing slacks and button down shirts, girls, their frilly dresses. This is pretty much every Sunday, but especially for the holiday. I looked out my window to see what the frequent screams were coming from the street. A full on Soccer game is going on with goals set up in the street. The men are playing in their undershirts. They have their dress shoes and slacks on, and their button downs are draped over cars parked on the side of the road. I can hear the faint screeching of the chickens that live in the apartment above mine. Why exactly these things make me feel so happy, I cannot quite say.
