Civility, con't

Isn't this silly?

I mean really-- look at all of those dishes I'm going to have to do by hand tomorrow morning. And whose bright idea was it to think that when folks arrive home from school & work they'd want to just hang around a table and nibble and chat before they dress for dinner? What a crappy old idea.

But go figure! They seemed to enjoy it. (And I won't really mind doing those few dishes.)
