And temptation resisted.  Just a little brag here: some of our neighbors laid about a quarter block of new sidewalk and a great big new double driveway this week, right where I pass it at least once a day on my regular walk and I did not write anything in any of the wet cement.  Even though I passed both the sidewalk and the driveway when they were exactly the right amount of “set” to take a nice line. No dates, no initials, no nothing.  (I know. I’m as surprised as you are.)

Even ten years ago I probably would have done something.  I feel sort of proud of myself, and sort of sad, too.  This is the little dog I would have drawn in the wet cement if I wasn’t (apparently) too mature to draw in wet cement.
