Today, we're lucky to know the ones next door. Your mention of 45's brings back fond memories. :) We would listen to records for hours to kill the boredom. Hancock was a decent movie, although I was expecting more of a comedy based on the previews and Smith's prior films. My neighborhood wasn’t as friendly as yours, but we knew most of them.

Oh, but what short bursts of fun those were. I remember my long days of summer when I headed out the door in the morning and not be back at home until lunch and dinner. After dinner, I wouldn't be back home until the street lights came on. The entire neighborhood where I grew up was interconnected. Sometimes I would knock on the door of a friend; sometimes I would just walk right in. "Hi, Mrs. Jansen. Is John up in his room?" Yes, at times those few stretches of boredom would be tough to take, especially when it was raining out, but a few 45's on the record player sometimes took care of that. It is good to get out and about with your children. I haven't seen "Hancock," but it seems to be generating a lot of mixed reviews. “. . .short bursts of fun, followed by long bouts of restless boredom.” Oh, but what short bursts of fun those were.
