You sound like a lovely person, Igor. You've gifted many passers-by delightful little blooms of human connection.

I wouldn’t go so far as lovely, but I think I found a way to make my chattiness palatable to others.

I did hear at one point that an exchange of at least seven phrases back and forth constitutes a conversation and that lots of service workers can go a day without one which can lead to depression and such. No clue how true that is but I figure this kind of approach can’t hurt.
