"What else??? I had workman at my house all week fixing my fence. I kept thinking of a line from a Robert Frost poem entitled, “Mending Wall”. It’s a great poem I’ve always remembered from high school. (See; those tax dollars for public school went to good use.) Anyway there’s a line in it where his neighbor keeps saying, “Good fences make good neighbors.” So all week as I watched these guys fix the fence that borders my yard from my neighbor’s, I’ve thought, “I wonder if he’s read that Robert Frost poem ‘Mending Wall’? And if so, I wonder if he now thinks I’m a good neighbor since I fixed the fence and neither one of us is really sure who’s fence it technically is.” Then I thought, “I think he’s a foreigner- not sure what country- couldn’t place the accent- something European. Swiss maybe- or Danish.” Then I thought about how I wished I had a danish. Then I thought, “Who knows if they even read Robert Frost poems in his homeland? They probably read their own version of easily accessible lighter-fare prose that focuses on the power of nature.” Then I thought, “I wonder what that Danish poet’s name is? And I wonder if he’s got any poems about fences?” I will have to explore this and if I come up with one I shall slip it under the new fence. I’ll be screwed if I got the country wrong. Something Nordic; he looks like a skier. And he’s handy; he chopped down his own tree. Do you happen to know which European people are stereotypically handy with a chainsaw and enjoy winter activities? I will research further and get back to you."
p.s. tonight's episode of scrubs absolutely confirmed that the janitor is my favorite character on that show. ah i love it!
