Thanks to all the nice people who commented on my Sunday excursion (to move boxes for an old family friend)! The trip was a success; all the stuff got moved from her garage to a nearby shed, freeing up considerable space. As a result, I've been too tired or busy to compose a proper blog since then...in fact my back only stopped hurting from all that lifting yesterday. Oh, and I DID make sure to keep my distance; no longing looks or heavy sighs betrayed my lingering feelings.
A couple of days later I was visiting with my niece and her husband after work, and behold, who's come over for a visit but "old family friend" and her dad. It was just like old times; my niece and she were in a giggly mood, so anything I said (particularly when bantering with the dad, who's pretty sharp for a guy pushing 90) was met with gales of laughter. "Hey Paul," said my niece, "did you know the house just up the hill from you is going to be available soon?" News to me. "Well, SHE might be moving in! Wouldn't that be great?" I did my best to appear enthusiastic.
For the record, I care very much for her, and yet there is no way we will ever be a couple. It wouldn't be right for either of us. My best course is to be helpful and supportive, and force myself to set my old feelings to the side. They are true emotions, however they apply to a relationship which is obsolete.
In other news, I'll be sleeping over at a woman's apartment tonight. Woo hoo, eh? Well, not exactly; she wants me to come over and troubleshoot her new DVD player and fix her computer. And once again I'll be trying to be as quiet and harmless-looking as I can possibly manage, because this particular woman is scared of men. If I had any way of getting home tonight, I'd prefer not to impose on her; however, I live too far away to get back, so she's stuck with me. Last time I stayed over, I think she kept a frying pan next to her bed in case I suddenly became crazed with frothing lust. I'd think it was pretty hilarious if it wasn't so humiliating to be seen (by a friend, I must add!) as a potential rapist.

I've been there, you have to put your feelings aside as you know nothing will come of a relationship with that person, been there.
She keeps a frying pan by her bed? Wow, she really doesn't trust men lol.

Yeah, it's not just me. Oh, and she just got a keychain with a sharp edge or something, so she'll be sure to have that clutched in her fist all night. Oooh! I'm a brute when I'm sleepin'...
(Actually, I once knew a woman who was extremely sexually aggressive in her sleep...some people are like that. In any case, I'll have to make sure never to tell my friend about this woman, because that thought would scare her half to death!)

Dang why are all the good friends, so far away?  My daughter and I have a large house, need furniture moved, the lawn moved and we'd even plye you with great food and wine,  let you have your own room,  upstairs far away from us,  
The grass is knee high and not one neighbor had offered to help, then last night I was thinking whatever happened to good neighbors?  About an hour later my daughter came home and the man across the street ask her if he could mow the lawn. 
I spent the day shopping for my friend who fell and hurt her back! 
But men like you do not grow around here! Where can I put an order in for one!
