Jackie said "me" and "mine" today. Se also called me "Papa" and tried to say my real first name. That was good. Right now, the shouting guy is shouting away. Earlier in the day, he was shouting something about "men who beat their wives," and it sounded interesting, but I realized I had a softball game tonight and didn't have the energy to fully listen in. We won our softball game handily, and I played fine, so I am not in a "grumpy" mood. But I have to wake up at 6 AM to get to work, so I hope the shouting guy quiets down. I need my "ugly rest." Do you think I will wind up walking over and talking to him? I'm taking bets.The police and local social workers have done nothing. My belief is that he is not armed. Just another day in the San Francisco Bay Area.

@kareng Maybe someone slipped him some Benadryl. He often shouts away into the wee hours.

Just be careful, he sounds like a "mental case" to me.

He IS a mental case. But I'm not convinced he's dangerous.

Yes, Jackie is my language-delayed child. I really enjoy playing with her.

You'd need to be very careful in these times to accost someone even if you just want to talk to him. I hope he just shuts up so you can all get some sleep.
