My problem with human get-togethers is there seems to be no more etiquette.

1. Guests should not arrive to find host or hostess stoned or drunk.
2. Allow your guests to bring something to contribute and enjoy it, make a fuss.
3. Reciprocate the gesture and visit your guests at their house.
4. Be receptive.
5. If you cannot do these things do not host a visit.

Perhaps I need to stay home more often. One of the saddest things about being 58 years old is noticing friends from 40 years ago have not grown at all. Perhaps It's time to move on.
