What's a Handshake?

Lots of talk about the Obama-Chavez handshake.

Good … Bad … Indifferent?

I remember years ago when I was first elected Mayor. There was a neighboring City which was a long time rival. The rivalry went back  even before they actually stole the County Seat/records in the middle of the night from my city. Long … bitter rivalry.

Their Mayor had invited me down to his City for a milking contest. I didn’t want to go. I didn’t want to shake his hand and I didn’t want to try to milk his damn cow. I knew it from the start I shouldn’t go. But, I went. I shook his hand. I tried and failed to milk even a drop out of the cow. I had a horrible time. Trying to get along with old time rivals isn’t all it is cracked up to be. Burying hatchets is for wimps.

I have never liked Barron.

I will never like Barron.

I wish I would have never shook his hand.
