Living in a small town.

There are many advantages to living in a small town (Port Washington, pop.10,467 + the new neighbors). One is sitting on the deck on a cool September evening and being able to hear the high school football game as clear as a bell. Our house is probably less than a half mile from the athletic field, but I'm pretty sure anyone in town can hear it from their deck or porch.

Not only that, but the game can be heard over the deafening sound of the neighborhood kids - including ours (the loud ones) - playing a spontaneous game of "capture the flag". Wouldn't trade it for anything...

Wait a minute - that's the Notre Dame fight song! We live in Wisconsin! On Wisconsin!!!

Nothing's perfect I guess.
