My daughter reminded me - indirectly - that my comments on parties left out a critical element. An omission I can't explain: the parties that Teri and I have hosted through the years. As Jackie put it - with great accuracy - "No one who comes here wants to leave."
The girl speaks the truth. This is not bragging; this is a statement of fact. We have never hosted a party that was not larger than we anticipated, or that did not go on longer than we had planned.
Bear in mind, my wife is a gifted hostess, not just in terms of laying out a full table of great food and drink, but in attending to her guests with genuine care. And I hold up my end in the "gift of gab" department (hey, we are Italian/Irish/Jewish - you want reserve, pal around with Episcopalians). And if any of you sing and play music and are not shy about it - let the games begin.
So this is a notion still not full-baked. Bear with me.
