"free hugs!"

that was what i heard as i got out of my car on university in hillcrest near starbucks on saturday. and that's just what i got from two of several friendly women - it really made my day. when i left and received my second set of hugs, i asked what they were promoting and they explained infant massage and its benefits. in fact, one of the women had just returned from near chernobyl where she was performing this service for genetically disfigured children who had been abandoned by their families. pretty powerful stuff from some truly nice folks.
