You really, really need to move to a small Southern town.
Living in a small Canadian town was probably pretty close. When I visited Boston after living there for a few years, I was stunned by how unbelievably standoffish everybody was - waiters didn't engage in long conversations, people didn't just invite you round to their house for no reason.
Sadly, I don't even notice any more.
I had to stay a couple of nights in Baton Rouge a few years ago. I was below the low man on the totem pole for a meeting with my regional director, some American Fund guys and John Kennedy.
First night I was on my own and asked my SIL for a small place not too far from my hotel. I wound up at a tiny hole-in-the-wall Italian place, where the waiters were older than I was. Food was good, though.
It had gotten a little late, there were just a few people left in the place and I'd been talking with the waiter about our grandkids and LSU football. I told the waiter to grab a glass of wine and have a seat. Shucks, I wasn't going anywhere for another five or six minutes.
I enjoyed the conversation and I hope he did, too. Never seen the guy before or again in my life.
