I finally found your card some 19 month after we met in Venice Beach. We were two lost Swedes, in town only for a few hours before going back to Sweden after a holiday trip to Hawaii. We bumped in to you in a flowershop when we were out looking for cooking knifes (maybe a weird place to do that in). Our steps were probably guided right into your path, because I have never come across a more caring and hospitable stranger. You took care of us, drove us to the cooking knife shop area and showed us around the place in an amazing way.(We still enjoy the Global knife we bought) Time flew and after a great walk around and lunch you also made sure we got back to our hotel in time, even though it was way out of your way. Do you recall any of this? We certenely do and we will never forget your warmth and frendliness. You personalized the american hospitability we had only heard of. When you wrote about the way your new found italian friend greeted you and how much it meant to you we had the same experience with you. It meant the world to us so thank you so much for being you and as I said to you as we parted: I think you are the nicest person we have ever met. You are uniqe but wouldn't it be just fantastic if every visitor everywere were met this way? We will make our best effort to pass forward what you did for us. Many grateful thanks from Göran and Helene Felix from Sweden. I’m sooo excited that I’ve found you!

I think for the most part we are in our status quo mood most of the time, which does not constitute bursting at the seems. However, I do regularly work on being in that type of mood (not all the time or it just comes off as fake) so that when I see friends I am much more excited than, "Oh hey man, what's up?" That being said, yes I still go to the restaurant - took a girlfriend there yesterday actually, and we are still in touch. Finally, I tend to greet animals and pets that way.

Though, I can't imagine myself greeting someone with so much enthusiasm that I burst at the seems. I think, if I tried it, whoever I was greeting would get a little scared and ask me to sit down and have a glass of water. I wonder, have you greeted anyone else in such a way :) Do you still keep in touch with this guy? Do you still go to his restaurant? Agreed.
