I earnestly LOVE when my neighbors throw a large and raucous birthday party. They always have a live mariachi band, they sing and chat until late into the night. I hear the echos of their laughter bouncing down the street. The live music, long since ceased, is echoed by a much quieter stream of gently pulsing tuba music and the gradually dimming chatter.

They throw these parties maybe thrice a year. Makes me feel like we are in The Shire. It feels very Intensionally Present.
