@TheBreadmonkey Well I'm excited.

@futurebird @TheBreadmonkey Another guy has occasionally shaken my hand, rather seriously, which I find unusual for a man (whom I recently learned is in his early 70s) when greeting a woman in an informal setting. But not unpleasant. Other groups I volunteer or go on nature walks with, no touching. We're not unfriendly, we just don't shake hands or hug. It was like that before COVID, too. Sometimes it's just organizational culture. 2/2

@TheBreadmonkey I don’t think you want a real answer but I have one anyway. It goes back to a time when for “high society” white Americans Italian food was “exotic” and sort of fashionably ethnic and unexpected. So, going on a date to a fancy Italian restaurant was a little adventure to make the pulse race within acceptable parameters. What a well traveled and fashionable fellow your date must be to take you to eat in THAT part of town.
