I have spent a reasonable portion of my day working in my home office (semester deadlines and final projects approaching . . . and I am working on a real-honest-to-goodness proposal in response to an RFP for my fledgling business. (My excuse for not posting in days and days. . .)
Now all day long there has been honking outside as cars pass down the street. At first, in a basically self centered way, I assumed it was friends of ours passing by and saying hi (they do this from time to time and you never actually know which friend it was.
It wasn’t until I went out to interview a php developer and do a few errands that I realized that all the way up and down the street one of the neighbors husbands or children had posted balloons and signs saying (I will be paraphrasing but it will be close) 1) Get Ready, 2) You are almost there 3) Carol is 50! Honk!
It brought lots of honks which has been kind of cool. In the past I’ve only seen people honking at political signs. Surprise parties are the usual celebration (or drowning yourself in a bottle of wine) but the person that thought that up for Carol is probably a pretty cool person (guy).
