how 'r ya

down here in the wilds of kerry, they call us how-r-yas.

Not just a greeting–an identity.

A friend asked me once: why do you people say "how are you?" when you don't want to know?

She was right, as usual.

I never did slow down long enough to take heed of the importance of such things to friends.

The scripts were to run for a long time yet.

When I finally had the same experience, I (as is habit) did the work in both directions, and switched to "hey" as both greeting and response.
