I had my February cocktail party last night. I should really stop calling them cocktail parties, though, since it’s all about the wine; we opened five bottles, and nobody once asked for liquor. It’s so much fun to have people over. I sometimes wish I had more space to entertain in, but it would really change the social dynamic; part of the fun of it is that I can fit just barely enough people in the room to get more than one conversation going at a time, but it’s small enough that everyone can overhear all the other conversations.
