Hi Brian--I really love reading these essays each month. They are always beautifully written, well-observed, and touching. Thank you for sharing them!!
The part about the handshake reminded me of somethin you might appreciate-- A few months ago I met David Sedaris as part of my job. When he came off the elevator I greeted him with a handshake and he told me "YOU should teach a class on how to shake hands". I've always prided myself on a firm, but not overwhelming, handshake so he was speaking right to my heart. What I couldn't say to him in the moment is that it takes two people to make a good handshake. I mostly encounter bad ones and people can be weird about them anyway. So kudos to you & Sophie -- long live the handshake :)
