Oh, it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood



yesterday's photo was taken out the kitchen door... this one, taken just minutes ago, was taken out the FRONT door... yesterday morning presaged a brighter day... this morning presages MANY brighter days... i feel the stirrings of hope once again, and, while i know that many ugly battles lie ahead, let today be the start of the great and wonderful changes to come... and, corny as it may be, i'm inspired by the signature song of a gentle and sweet man, who reminds us that our world, after all, is really just a neighborhood...

"It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine.
Could you be mine.
It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty
Would you be mine.
Could you be mine.
I have always wanted to have a neighbor
Just like you.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood
With you, so
Let's make the most of this beautiful day
Since we're together,
We might as well say,
"Would you be mine, could you be mine,
Won't you be, my neighbor?"
Won't you please?
Won't you please?
Please won't you be
My neighbor?"
