The president makes eye contact with me. “Great to see you,” says the president. The president extends his hand while simultaneously pivoting on his right foot. His hands grasp mine. They feel like the rough surface of your favorite baseball. Eye contact was broken mid-handshake. His hand trailed his turned body *which has already turned on the pivoted foot.* He greeted a couple across the way from me. This concludes my communication with the president of the United States.
