A Gray Day

It is a gray Sunday afternoon. With weather like this and one less hour in my day it's tempting to follow my cat's lead and curl up on the couch.

An old friend came over last night to introduce her 8 month-old baby girl to myself and a few other friends. What was to have been a pleasant evening with friends took a downward turn when the new mother filled us in on the struggles she's been having with her marriage. Her husband, a former housemate of mine, has been unfaithful. She is hurt and angry. I am surprised that my former housemate is not the guy I thought he was. Is it possible to ever really know someone else? After listening to the specifics of the situation I'm leaning towards no.
