It would be good if we could arrange a draft.&#8221;  It reminded me of the WWE&#8217;s recent draft lottery, where five Raw superstars were drafted to Smackdown and vice versa.  Not a bad idea.  I&#8217;m already drafting my list of neighbors I&#8217;d send to the Echelon.<\/p>\n<p>One of my neighbors left yesterday, by the way.  Not as a result of a draft lottery.  My favorite neighbor, a very precocious 5-year-old who could carry on a better conversation than most people six times her age.  She went to visit her grandparents and will be back next month.  There will be a little less sunshine on the roof until she gets back.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the evening, I was talking to several of my neighbors, including the one who doesn&#8217;t understand the difference between a halter top and a tube top.  I won&#8217;t mention her by name but check the archives.  Anyway, at one point she was stretching and she put her ankle behind her head.  I&#8217;ve gained new respect for this neighbor.  If she&#8217;s reading:  Hey baby.  How YOU doin&#8217;?  What other moves you got?  She&#8217;s a dancer.  Not the kind of dancer I usually go for (i.e. she doesn&#8217;t work in a purple building on Mt. Moriah), but, again, what other moves you got?<\/p>\n<p>And that brings another in the series of stupid journal entries to a close.  25 1\/2 hours until July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As usual, I was up on my rooftop tonight, and have a report.
