Gordon,
When somebody new enters a room, I am never the first to rush over
to greet him. I have always been a stand-offish sort of fellow,
not a back-slapping, glad-handing, "a stranger's just a friend I
ain't met yet" extrovert. Instead, I hang back, observe the
newcomer for a bit, size him up, then decide whether I want to say
howdy or not.
Howdy.
Walt
