Something new

This is my friend Karla's email: neighborsfriend@herisp.com
I keep getting a message to hook you two up. If interested why dont you email her to see if you have anything in common. . . Just a thought!

That odd e-mail out of the blue from my next door neighbor led to my writing this letter.

We do not know each other but my next-door neighbor Cherie thinks that maybe we should. Last night she sent me an unusual e-mail that began simply: "This is my friend Karla's email: neighborsfriend@herisp.com. I keep getting a message to hook you two up."

I wrote back thanking her for thinking of me and that I was curious who kept leaving her this message. She replied that I could call it "intuition, higher power, God". She assured me that she was not claiming clairvoyance. "But for some reason every time I see her or you I think of the other. So I thought it couldnt hurt if you emailed each other to see if you have anything in common." Something besides eminding Cherie of each other, I presume.

And that is why I now send you what must seem a most unusual e-mail.

Cherie has probably given you a thumbnail description of me. I hope she at least arned you about her revelation and that you might be hearing from me. About me? Never married, never had children, though I do have a cat. Or the cat has me. There's occasional confusion about that. I can sing karaoke sober but I recommend that listeners drink heavily first. I'll spare you further details for now but I've written many of them on my blog. If you're curious that will give you a better picture of me. Actually the pictures there will give you a better picture of me. The words might have an entirely different effect. We'll find out soon enough.

That was a few days ago. I'm told Karla rarely checks her e-mail so she might not be ignoring me. Turns out Cherie did warn her that I might be writing to her. We'll see.
