The first flowers of spring burst in front of the Story front door this week and it was enough to bring out the neighborhood for the first tarmac party of the year. Despite the April 14 date, professional tax preparers Sandy and Tom were celebrating springtime rituals with the Abbey Point neighbors tonight, confident that tardy clients can just file for an extension. Topics at tonight's tarmac included a possible cruise through the Panama Canal, the acquisition of an allergy-free poodle, a visit to the new micro-brewery near Valleyfair, the usual surgeries and repairs to an aging population, the Amsterdam Red Light District ("those ladies in the window aren't selling pressure cookers"), and the much-anticipated arrival of new neighbors tomorrow. What a night!
Absent tonight were Mina and Joe, and the Florida snowbirds who have yet to make a northern appearance, as well as Lisa and Vance, who still have real jobs but are inspired by their neighbors to make an end to them and join the rest at the first opportunity.
