Haha, well I know that would have brought peace of mind to so many, but I'm just not Elvis unfortunately, I'll say hello to him when I see him though, on behalf of the living. Unless he went to heaven that is, I'll be going to the other place I think.
I have too Swigs, mostly when travelling. I've met people on train platforms, airports and hotel lobby's and sometimes it ends up being coffee, a scotch, dinner...or breakfast sometimes. I think it's the common ground found through being travellers. It's pretty cool really. I can be a little distrustful of people right up front, I'm friendly and personable, but don't trust easily, but sometimes it feels ok, I'm pretty good at the intuition thing, and so stranger-coffees have happened.
I met an American couple at the Salzburg train station once. They were totally confused and unsure whilst waiting for an overnight train to Paris and asked me some questions. I didn't know much more than them but we started chatting and whilst waiting we had a coffee. Nice people. We stayed in contact since, twelve years now.
There's been many others, but none lured me in with Devonshire tea!
See?? If only the knew the secret handshake!!
Travel and odd meet ups just go together. I keep in contactvwith a few and some fade into the background, but many dont and I have met one couple again. On purpose this time. I was passing through, but it was kind of cool.
People are fascinating.
Well, it's not quite as secret as the Freemason's handshakes, but it's a reasonably closely guarded secret nonetheless and something that has to be demonstrated rather then described. Maybe one day Swigs.
Wow, I haven't heard the term "Freemason" in over 30 years. My dad belonged to a local lodge. Try my best, I could not get him to take me to a meeting. I'd be full of questions when he returned.
He did, however, break the rule and teach me one of the handshakes, but swore me to secrecy for life.
Thanks for some wonderful memories just now. Appreciate it. Take care.

It's a fairly secretive group, despite them saying otherwise.
The way I understand it, the handshakes are different depending on where one is and I'm ok with them having that. I am familiar with people/group specific acknowledgments and comfortable with it; a way to say, hey, you're my people.
I also know a could of the handshakes but would never dare use them, ever. It's not that I'm afraid to do so, more that I don't want to compromise my integrity and the promise I gave; the same as you.
Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it.
Yes, the handshakes are different from region to region. I would only use it to greet him, then we'd smile. I didn't know if he told my siblings, but I felt special. I don't believe he did because he knew they couldn't hold water, even to this day, lolol.
Take care and have a good start to your week.
Lol, this made me laugh.
Have a nice day too.
