I think the best way to greet a 'downer has mostly been "hi, how was your flight?"
But it is indeed weird to meet people you know yet do not know, but the feeling tends to vanish quite quickly (the better you know the person, the longer it takes, I think).
But speaking of this summer, we -
Agan, "Goldberry" and me - were InterRailing around Europe and met
Legate, were supposed to meet
Esty (but alas, our timetables didn't match) and met
Skippy who was wonderful company - well you can probably see from the stories and the pics that we had a lot of fun. And
Skip makes it sound like a total misadventure but to be honest the walk he calls long was very short for people who had been walking around different European cities for the past four weeks, the grill that failed was no disaster 'cos it was easy enough to light a new fire and the rain that interrupted us was a very mild and almost unnoticeable one. So it was not a misadventure but a very fine evening.

So in the future we might not report it every time we meet him...

I wasn't reporting everytime before either... so am I a criminal now? *shifty eyes*
