Well, well, well

It would appear that Married Guy had a very specific purpose in sending me that email.

I do think it was prompted in part by me talking about Doodlepants, but not for the reason I initially thought, and here's why:

The day he sent it, someone I'm pretty sure was him checked my blog the evening before, the morning of, and the evening of, probably to see if I posted anything in response.  All I did post was a short question asking how many synonyms there are for "sanctimonious".

On top of being paranoid, since I started my little side business, I keep pretty close track of who is hitting what site of mine, and I use Google Alerts to keep track of who is searching on me in my various intarwebs incarnations.

Today, not only did I get a Google Alert that someone searched against my email address from his IP, but also against my blog name and immediately after that, a hit from the same IP on my blog.  

I think he planted the email for her to find, to put her mind at ease.  That way she could read the email where he talks about how he's found his one true love and I should just leave them alone because he never cared about me.  And then she could read my blog and see the things about Doodlepants.

I realize how crazy and paranoid and convoluted this must sound, but trust me: life with him was just that paranoid and convoluted.  Me + my ability to throw him = exactly how much I trust anything he does.

Now that I can put that to rest, the only lingering question is the story behind the bracelet.
