open letter to the guy with the dog

hi, neighbor!

i think you have noticed me sometimes in the six o'clock hour watching you play with your dog out on the golf course behind the house.

here's the thing: when the sound of you and your dog playing is the thing that wakes me in the morning, i reserve the right to roll over and watch, mostly because i have just woken up and it is a pleasant way to spend my first waking moments of the day.

if you are bothered by me doing this, you may feel free to play with your dog outside somebody else's bedroom window.

i hope we're all square now.

love,
flask
