MORE GOOD NEWS IN BAD TIMES
Have fun with Chronicle Editor Jerry Bellune
Good Friday morning.

A favorite thriller writer has a question for us.
James Scott Bell asks if handshaking is gone for good.
Will any of us do it when this rotten mess is over?
President Trump and Dr. Fauci say to scrap handshakes.

We’ve been shaking hands since Socrates was a tad. 
It’s how we say hello, make a deal, show good faith.
The Civil War ended when Grant offered his hand to Lee.
On the other hand, some handshakes haven’t worked out well. 
Remember Neville Chamberlain and “Peace in our time?” 
He shook with the wee dictator with the Charlie Chaplin mustache.
The real Charlie Chaplin turned that into a comedy.
Sorry, Charlie’s gone. You have to settle for me.

How about hugging or knuckle or elbow bumping?
Let me know what you think our future holds.
