It’s dark out now, and a little chilly. I’m clever, though; I brought a sweater. My wife gave up yelling at me a few hours ago. She stomped into the house and a few hours ago her best friend’s car pulled into the driveway to pick her up. They are probably somewhere drinking alcohol and watching Waiting to Exhale or something. But none of this is my concern.

My concern right now is getting my laptop onto my next door neighbor’s wireless connection. Dave from the IT department at work showed me how to do this. He also showed me how to use this one program which is now telling me about said next door neighbor’s rabid appetite for anal pornography.

I put my laptop down and peer out the window next to my mattress. I have a perfect view of the side of the neighbor’s house, and there he is in the window, his face lit blue from the computer screen. I smile because now I know something about him.
