Day 12, Wednesday March 25: The Truman Show
Remember The Truman Show? Jim Carrey plays Truman who lives in this Mayberry-like town where everyone knows each other and is super nice, and everyone and everything looks perfect. There was a weird twist to it all, but I won’t give that away. Suffice it to say, it all looked a bit like a movie set.
The Truman Show was the first thing that popped to my mind as I walked my neighborhood on Wednesday. The sun was shining, and I’ve never seen so many people in the neighborhood. Whole families were walking, in the middle of a weekday! There were baby carriages, dogs, and bikes. Folks were washing their cars in the driveway, doing spring clean-ups of their yards, playing kickball. And of course, everyone was waving to each other as folks passed. It was great, if not a tad bit eerie.
So, get outside, take a walk or a bike ride, wave to your neighbors, stop and chat. You may even want to re-watch The Truman Show.
