It's tough campaigning, kissing hands and shaking babies.

Jack was out kissing babies while I was out passing bills. Someone had to tend the store.

He must have spent it shaking hands at the Back Porch.

Breast-feeding babies digest food more rapidly and need to feed more frequently. That's tiring for mom.

It's the virtual equivalent of knocking on doors and shaking hands.

I have enjoyed shaking hands and I have made a lot of good contacts. I have been following up with the literature and e-mails and I have had some good responses, too.
