If those are the back slapping...it should look more like this {{{***}}}. Manly men, only hug long enough to pat the back 3 times! AND, you only hug at the chest!! LOL.
Okay...at the risk of sounding weird...I've learned the art of man-hugging over the last couple weeks (post-retreat). It is the practice that you hug your retreat brothers whenever you see them...so, every time I'm at church (which is almost daily b/c my kid goes to school there)...there's usually someone to hug. I've had time to observe and experience the ritual.
Just thought I'd clear that up for ya! Congrats on the new job dude! Have a GREAT first week. BTW, took your advice from yesterday. Let's see what happens. I appreciate your concern and help!
