Why I Am Blogging

Karen is great. We spent a lot of time together this past week. She's an administrative assistant. Suddenly I don't know what to say. I mean, what's the etiquette? Anyway, she's smart, funny, and she laughed at one of my worst jokes. We were at Prozzly's on Wednesday night. I have to admit I checked Gabbl to make sure the guys wouldn't be there. I don't know at what point I'll inflict them on her, but I certainly wasn't up for it yet. We had a good time. Karen kicked my butt at darts. I'll claim she distracted me, threw me off my game with her presence, if you call me on it. I had a bit much to drink. I think she did too. I can't help but think that's good. It wasn't tense or anything before, but you know, there's that point when you both relax, so I call it a good step forward.

All right (it's funny how the spell check does that), it's time to tell you the big secret. Let me start by saying it's not a big secret, and some people consider it par for the course. Now it's here I find that I'm kind of embarrassed, but I guess that's the point. My house is haunted. I'll wait for the laughing to end. I like to think of myself as a rational, modern kind of guy. There is only so much that can happen, only so many excuses or involved explanations, before you have to conclude you're living in a haunted house. Yes, I Lookered the 'involved explanations' bit.

I'm not going to be one of those people who post that I have a ghost and not really say anything else about it even when asked. So here goes...

It started that I thought I was getting forgetful. I couldn't find my keys sometimes. I thought I set something down to my right and I'd find it on the left. I hear that's typical. It's also ignorable. However, I've seen a few objects in the act. It's quite eerie to see them lift up and sail gracefully across the room.

I couldn't find anything online where anyone had said they'd seen objects in mid-flight. Maybe someone will drop a comment about their experience seeing a ghost caught in the act.
