I didn't open the door, but instead talked to him through my office window. He took a step closer and I instinctively took a step back. (He just needed to get into my back yard to work on a line.)

It's going to take a minute to get used to this new routine.

I watched a bit of "The View" this morning and noticed they were pretty far apart, though I don't think it was 8 feet. It'll be interesting to see what kinds of changes are made.
