Old TV shows like Mary Tyler Moore never show people hugging. It's a new thing and kind of evasive. I guess that makes me sound like a cold fish, but my handshakes are warm and endearing. There's also the issue of hugging a man. Side hug, okay, full frontal, nope. - okay. I think I just started my article for next week.

Highlights of the trip; Biking on Coronado Island, watching surfers on Dana Point, putting my handprints in the cast molds on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, pretending I was "Pretty Woman" on Rodeo Drive, lunch on the beach in Malibu, winery visits and dessert in Solvang, Hearst Castle tour, singing "Sweet Caroline" in Carmel at Clint Eastwood's Inn while HE played the piano, seals sunning on the beach in Monterey, Sam's Clam Chowdah!

I can still remember the 2nd floor landing in my grade school - so wide and high - and my fright of falling down those stairs right through the center where there was no rail. <br />Never really thought about man hugs, but you sure captured the awkwardness of it! <br />Poor Chowdah.
