Hold On: A feel good story

First of all I don't think there's enough positive news, and I'm as guilty as anyone, so I'm putting this one out there.

Secondly I enjoy fashioning myself as something of an amateur sociologist and enjoy looking people and how they interact (which is a vague definition of sociology I know, but it's late/early, I'm allowed to be redundant).

Thirdly (or maybe just third since I'm not sure "thirdly" is a word) I am on the verge of a relationship myself and I've got to say the aspect from this article is one I have enjoyed a bit so far and look forward to continuing to enjoy.

This article from the venerable New York Times brings to light the physiological and, more interestingly in my mind, sociological implications of handholding. I've got my thoughts, but I've exposed enough of my personal feelings for today, so I'll simply say read it. You'll learn stuff, it'll be good for you (like the handholding is apparently), and the world will be a bit sunnier. Really... It will be.
