:: Strong thoughts sent out to help Bernoulli hold up the wings of **Verrain’s** plane. ::

Lemme see, Verrain. What’s the proper way to type out a solidly manly, 100% straight-male hug? It may not be as soft and warm as those from the ladies, but if you need reassurances…

And, hey, mind if I man this hugging thread while yer vacating? For some reason I feel profoundly huggy today.

[sub](Okay, it MAY have something to do with the fact that at some point in the next seven days I will become a father…)[/sub]

Hey, Verrain, I’m sending positive thoughts your way for a safe, fun trip. Bring us back some souveniers, Sweetie. [giggle]

So, Tygr, if you’re going to be the resident hugger in Verrain’s absence, may I have a hug? 🙂

Ah yes the Manly Hug!

```
 I reach out and grab your hand in a firm handshake, then hands still clasped we pull forward. Our free hands clap each other heartily on the back as our fronts collide with a thump. We squeeze tight for moment pounding each others backs before we part again still shaking hands.

```

Great to see you guy! You are more than welcome to hug anyone you like here. In fact, anyone is. And congrats on the up coming fatherhood. 🙂
