    I touched DW yesterday for the first time in over a year.  She has had her two shots I was getting my second.  It was a quick hug and she has no idea who I am. but she likes a hug from anybody.  I first kissed DW 49 years ago.

      Good for you, Crushed!  Physical contact is good, and hugs are best.

      Nice, very nice. There is nothing greater than a big physical hug.
