I rarely meet my neighbors because I am not at home. A couple of months ago, I see Mr. Hottie go into the apartment next to mine. That is when I noticed that the door mat that used to be there was gone. Susan the flight attendant had moved on and Mr. Hottie had moved in. The next time I ran into him was at our bank of mailboxes, but he was on the phone. Two weeks ago I was in a hurry to meet the girls and he was off to the basketball court and again, no time to say hi or introduce myself. I hear him puttering around in his apartment at times. He must work swing swift because I have yet to figure out what his pattern is. He still has no door mat out and he only has one sports chair on his deck. I never hear a woman's (or a man's) voice come from his apartment.

I am thinking of whipping up a batch of yummy brownies and packaging them up in a cute bag--perhaps a Halloween theme and leaving them on his doorstep with a note to the effect: Welcome to the neighborhood, from the brownie fairy in apt #.

What do you guys think? Should I do it? Is that a way to get a face-to-face introduction at last???
