Memo From The Chairman


The Fist Bump

Friday, October 30, 2009

The legendary Wally Macht stopped by to talk on our wireless mic outside the studio this morning.  He was here to promote the mustache-growing group of which he's a member.  (see Wednesday's blog).   Wally grew a test stache this month; he looks distinguished with or without a mustache.  He's one of those lucky guys; good genes. 

Wally fist-bumped me when he came into the studio to say hi.  I can't say I blame him considering we're in the middle of a pandemic but it does take some getting used to.  I was raised to shake hands during a first meeting or when greeting a friend.  It has become a reflex action.  So to switch to a fist bump will take some getting used to.

I suggested to Lisa and Catherine we all do "the bump" like we did during the 70s disco era.   I thought we were to use our buttocks back then for the Bump.  Turns out we were supposed to use our hips.  That might explain those two restraining orders in '76.   

Have a safe, germ-free weekend.
