TABLE OF CONTENTS
Two years ago, I lay in my bed at 3 in the morning, unable to sleep. I tossed and turned, put a pillow over my head, positioned my fan so that it was aimed directly at my face, but all to no avail. I could still hear my upstairs neighbors having yet another party on their porch. I lived in a bottom-floor apartment of a big complex, and was unlucky enough to get neighbors who partied often and noisily. That particular night in bed fuming, I
schemed up solutions: Call the cops. Report them to management. Ask them to be quiet. The third idea seemed the most congenial, so I put on my slippers and padded up the stairs. As I stood outside their door on their straw welcome mat, shivering, I realized I didn't have the gumption. I retreated, lay in bed for another hour or so listening to Bob Marley and laughter, and finally drifted off to sleep. Check out Patrick Griffith's cautionary tale about neighbors on page 7. Also be sure to bar-tie questionnaire, page 9, to avoid ticking off every bartender in town. Cheers!
