I started to PM Cadence back about our posts in 2009, then decided to give myself the pleasure of having all of you in my thoughts as I revisit the thread she mentions, on hand-kissing. The three episodes I wrote about were all indeed taken from my own experiences with being busked on my hand, albeit very much embellished by a writer's liberal liberties. I have always been transparent on Couchsurfing, and written with candor, though in this case I made the events into a third-person story. Alas, it has been many years since I've encountered a man (or woman, in these egalitarian times!) who has such elegant manners. Or such a seductive charm. But one lives in hope. . . .

Meanwhile, may I wish all of you many kisses on all the right places! Arbitrary, unsolicited kisses are rumored to be related to star dandruff, after all, and therefore magically able to bring us happiness when times are dark.

Happy Holidays of your inclination,

Tango
