About two months later, the house next door to us went up for sale, was sold, and a couple of months later the new people moved in. I waved to the new neighbor across the driveway and we had a brief “welcome to the neighborhood” chat. Jen mentioned that he thought the guy looked familiar but wasn’t sure from where she knew him.

Doctors I have known have a wall between their professional and social lives. My Dr. for many years was my best friend. He even had his finger up my ass a couple of times. My wife would go see him, they'd chat. Later she'd be talking to his wife, and some topic would come up. His wife would say "He never told me that!" He said "What happens in the office never goes anywhere else." It's just a mental wall they build.
