No, that's another example of your misrepresentations and lies, Pendragon.

I simply tell Zod to tell Mike hello because I know that they have tents at the same camp and see each other often.

Even if they see each other every day (which they, no doubt, do), you should not address them as a couple... unless, of course, they are one.

I suppose down here in the South we're more friendly with out neighbors than up there in New Jersey, Pendragon.

If I see a friend who has a next door neighbor who is also a friend, I often ask about the other person, as I often ask about Mike.

HTH and HAND.
