On out of town business trips I’ve observed an interesting
phenomenon that seems to occur with surprising regularity. It’s a phenomenon
which I’ll call “hugging the client”. I call it that because that’s exactly
what happens.
While my history as a “hugger” is spotty at best and
ridiculed at worst*, I am not opposed to a good hug. I’m just surprised that,
after a mere 24 hours, people known to me in only a professional capacity decide
that they want to hug me. If it only happened once, I could chalk it up to that
one person. But it seems to be happening with every client I meet. I guess it’s
a testament to my charm and/or strong and inviting arms**?

lot of push-ups lately
