I’ll keep this brief – for a change.
I did end up meeting Laundro-Matt for a drink before the holidays. We had a nice time. He seemed like (and may very well be) a nice guy – potentially but not definitively “nicest guy.”
Unfortunately he appears to possess a few qualities that rank high on my alphabetic list of dealbreakers – most notably in the F category: FLAKEY and complete FAILURE to FOLLOW-through (double word score!) being primary among them.
You may have noticed that the several (fine, nine…) Laundro posts disappeared sometime before the holidays. I took them down in an effort to be polite to Laundro, his family, and any other contacts of his that I wrote about. They will be replaced over the weekend for your re-reading pleasure 🙂
And yes, I fully intend to continue patronizing Best Dry Cleaners, but Anna’s role as neighborhood yenta has been terminated. I’ve got my sights set on Muhammed at Thompson Liquors as a replacement.

THANKS FOR BRINGING US CLOSURE! I LOOK FORWARD TO RE-READING ALL OF THOSE RELATED POSTS AGAIN, AND CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR ESCAPADES FROM THE LIQUOR STORE.
Even though I’m always on Team Jessie, the vagueness of this post makes me think you might have been too picky with this one! If you liked him enough, you would have followed through yourself (and yes, I have read the previous posts about how that’s his job!). So, unless you’re going to give in and go for it, you’ll have to give us more detail than this…
HH – I find there are times when you’re up for following up yourself even though a guy says he will, or giving him more than 1-3 chances to follow through. With this guy, in this case – not up for it 🙂
