New Neighbor

   Tue, July 22, 2008 - 8:17 PM
My good friend Katherine used to live in the condo facing mine. When she finished with the local university she moved back to her home state leaving her condo vacant for more than a year.

Finally, her unit sold and today I saw my new neighbor for the first time. Naked! His new home is one of only a dozen two story units in the complex. overlooking the stairs is a tall window, nearly 10 feet that is arched at the top. All of the units like this seem always to have the blind closed on this particular window.

Now I know why. Walking my dogs at dusk, there was a lot of light coming through the window, so, like a deer, I looked toward the light and there in full view, standing in front of his bathroom mirror, was my new neighbor. I did not linger, just continued to walk my dogs past but you can not unsee what has been seen.

This gent's front door faces mine so I am bound to meet him walking out his door, the only way I would recognize him as it was not his face, I saw through the window. At this moment of first meeting, do I make like an ass and comment on his? Do I tell him he needs to close his blinds, or do I just say nothing and politely walk my dogs a different direction?
