I sincerely apologize if I...Roger, you poor booger! I sincerely apologize if I hugged you. I don't believe I did because I have this vague suspicion that that would invade your space. I am rather a hugger, but I have learned in VMC that hugging can appear to be taking liberties and might even have a sexual connotation. I have always made it a policy to avoid touching the younger men in the chorus. <br />I played piano for the National Ballet School for 32 years. Of course, I would never touch a student. Being with young adults coloured my approach to being socially physical outside The School. My motto was "No hair? Don't go there!" That was my rationale for deciding if someone was too young to risk appearing intimate even if I was just being friendly. <br />I was only 24 in 1976 when I started playing for The School, so that involved a bit of work because those grads were almost my age when they were starting their professional careers. I had just come from university where it was acceptable to be intimate with guys ~ because they were in university.<br />Anywayz, back to your blemish...I sincerely hope you were able to have SOME fun at Retreat despite dealing with that horrendous discomfort. The singing was great, and the skits were fun...mostly. I will not get into any of that.<br />I am hoping you will be feeling much better very soon.<br />Are you going to attend the CANTUS concert tomorrow or the Van Man Summit on Saturday? I understand you have the family to spend time with. <br />BTW your description of your family dynamics was SO funny. I love how you write.T-vorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875900540825876391noreply@blogger.com
