My friend and budding friendship
Tomorrow is one week of living with my childhood friend. It has been interesting to say the least. I am still receiving words of caution from friends. I am enjoying “playing house” and fixing meals. I have a vague sense that there is more to this situation but do not like to “grill” others with questions as it feels intrusive to me. If there is to be sharing then it should come from trust not interrogating. It is a pleasure to have an intelligent individual around to chat with and I am learning just how smart he is too. He has been to seven continents and written books. His education is extensive too. MS and PhD I am not sure which is for studying in South Africa for two years but think it must be the latter. I am still troubled at the negativity and the labels he claims i.e. primitive, black sheep of the family introvert. Basically he seems a “loner” and walks about exploring the city of Poughkeepsie where he once lived. While he seems healthy he mentioned that he is very sick and today has gone to the Veteran’s Administration for follow-up on his evaluation begun in Vermont. This leads me to a conclusion that he could have emotional issues or more.
