Re: Noticed again in Atlanta

(PDA? What's the matter with Personal Digital Assistants?)

But seriously ... Our team does have a rule barring PDAs (which parallels our school's rule), which was succinctly summarized by a mentor who wrote "If someone can tell you are boyfriend / girlfriend by your actions, you have crossed the line." Thus, we have no problems with hi-fives, hugs, etc. at the end of a (presumably successful) round, but we don't tolerate hanging all over, tonsil examinations, etc.

I personally don't have a problem with hanging around, frisbee, etc., outside; sitting in the sun is fine, but I sunbathing would be going too far.

It all boils down to the reason you're in Atlanta: If you're committed to the team and its activities, there won't be issues. If you make the trip so that you can simply go to the Atlanta equivalent of Epcot (as some of my students did 7 years ago in Orlando), find another team.
