Laurie, jojo -- update:

I was coming down my limerock road just now, and saw that H was coming toward me from the other direction. We both stopped in front of my driveway. I smiled and said hello. He said he was just "picking up the mail" which he can only get *up the road from our house* and not where I saw him.

I asked him if he was driving by to see if I was gone so he could come in the house. He denied it. Then I asked if he was coming to see me and he said no, and left.

OK, so what was he doing, lying? He could only have been there for one of those two reasons. He comes home all the time when I am not there, but I can't always tell. I'm pretty sure he wasnt' coming to see me because he didn't stay. I guess he lied, yet again.
