So I have a profile up on www.couchsurfing.com and a couple of weeks ago I got a ping. This very nice Indian guy currently attending grad school in Indiana asked if he could stay from the 18th-23rd. I knew that five nights would cramp my sex life so I told him the 18th-20th would be ok. Arranging this involved many phone calls trying to determine what would be happening. He wanted me to approve everything he planned to do while here and that was interesting.

He arrived last night. He is excruciatingly polite. It is also interesting seeing what he is ok asking for and what he isn’t. He brought his own towel so he wouldn’t be an imposition, but he has asked us for driving directions and food and cold medicine this morning. He also would like an extra blanket cause he is crazy enough to try and sleep with the door open and that is a bad idea in this house in the winter.

He is not staying for breakfast. He is going to run off to meet up with his girlfriend and spend the day escorting her around the bay area. They have an action packed few days ahead of them. And the poor guy is really sick. I am giving him liquid dayquil today and several packets of pills for later in the day. He is looking forward to trying nyquil tonight. 🙂 I hope he has a good day.

This is such an odd experience. Yet, I’m really glad that I am finally in a place where doing this is easy. This is exactly the sort of thing that I think people should be doing so it is good that I am finally doing it! 🙂
