Strange Places Strange Faces

I come from a Lip-kissin' family, and it still always made me uncomfortable. And though I really like the "peck on the cheek" greeting, I'm not so good at it because so few people practice it here.

There's a girl in the coffee shop I frequent, that, though I hardly know her, greets me, and everyone else she knows that way. It shocks me every time, to be kissed by her. But I think it's sweet.

Hey Nigel!

I'm just catching up on your recent posts here...

I guess some folks have to work on Labor Day so that the majority, who have the day off, can still go to certain places and still buy stuff...What else would they do, right?

I'm going pretty gray on the sides too, so I feel for you, my friend...

As for long distance dating, I guess it seems safer and hotter at the same time...You get to do what you want and then communicate at night or see each other on weekends or holidays...and it's good at first...Then, I guess someone's gotta eventually make a move or meet half way or something...Not sure what to tell you...Good luck!

As for lip kissers...that's kinda weird, I guess...Usually we do a lot of hello and good bye hugs and cheek kisses...You gotta start saying good bye like 45 minutes before you actually want to leave at most family functions...It takes a while...but luckily there's no lip kissing...

Anyway, Nigel...I hope you're able to figure something out with the long-distance relationships...

Take care out there!

Your Pal,

Zambo.
