Gossip I learned in less than one hour this evening at a neighbor's Holiday Party:
One of the teenagers who used to babysit my kids is married and both her and her husband have gone through astronaut training and work for NASA.
Her brother, who watched my kids sometimes too, was a software engineer in on the beginning of Square and his stock options at the time of the IPO were worth $11 million and as the shares rose and he exercised additional stock options he became worth tens and tens of millions. (His dad told me this so I Googled him and it appears to be true.)
The girl around the block who used to play with m son when they were little is in medical school.
The brainiac girl three doors down, who also babysat my kids, finally came out to her parents and is a surgeon- and is also going to law school part-time (idiot).
The neighborhood loser kid went from high school to doing serious mega prison time for selling fentanyl laced drugs that killed two people. (It didn't make the news that I am aware of so I doubt it.)
My next door neighbor's son, who runs the family business (presently holding five Mexican restaurants), sold-off several of their others and wants his dad's permission to walk away and retire before 35. Dad is saying no.
The white people who bought the house on the corner are angry because they didn't know the seller was black.
Meiul, who lives across the street, is still an illustrator for Disney after longer than 20 years.
The new people across the street who I had not met yet, seem really cool.
Most important, the three or four idiot families in the neighborhood who cause all the trouble or who we have had issues with were not invited!
