I was gone for one hour yesterday ONE HOUR. I get home to find a note taped to my door. THE GREN WAS HERE. I am assuming out of most of the people who still read my blog ( even after much negligence on my part) most of you know who the Gren is. I read the note, there was more than just " THE GREN WAS HERE", however, Simon has it somewhere no doubt pressed in a book.
At first I was disappointed that I had missed a visitor. It is a great break in my day as most stay at home moms will know. I was sad thinking that I had missed a visit from someone who lived very far away and made a special attempt to " drop by". Then I was relieved for two reasons. 1) the state of my house at the time 2) I would probably have panicked a bit with a strange man at my door claiming to be " The Gren". I have no idea what "The Gren" looks like. I would have probably been a panicked stricken mother and simply panic that a stranger is at my house who says he knows me and wants to come in. Would that not freak anyone else out???
The fun part about all of it was that he was no where near my house but had met a couple from my city a month back at a wedding. Being the creative man he is, wrote the note and sent it back with instructions to tape it to the door of the said address.
In conclusion, it was some excitement to my day to try and piece together the mystery, and there was some relief that I hadn't missed a visitor from a land far far away. Even though I still looked a bit like an ass, it was probably less that the song and dance I would have done trying to get the stranger to prove to me who he was before inviting him in for tea.
Very good timing as well, actually getting here in the hour that I was gone that day.
Thanks for the fun...

I think it would have been fun, trying to prove my identity. "Get Simon on the phone, ask me questions only the real Gren would know."
Rest assured though. If ever I find a way to make it to up to your neck of the woods, I will announce my coming well in advance...with trumpets...and maybe a sky writer. But trust me...you'll know the gren cometh.
Anyway, glad you had fun with the mystery. It would have shown up earlier except the groom at the wedding you mentioned posted on my site that someone from your city was there. I had to wait about a month or so to give Simon time to forget that little detail, lest the mystery be ruined. The waiting was torture ;)
That's really funny! I also thought, in the beginning of the story, that it was weird for Moksha to have dropped by unanounced, when he knew Simon probably wasn't there, etc. etc. Nice trick, Moksha. :) People don't pull enough tricks nowadays.
