My life as a flame-thrower.

So I don't really throw flames. That was just an attention-grabber. I throw parties. Small, intimate parties, with small, intimate friends. There has been a lot of talk of late of the important role friendships play in our enjoyment of life, our mental well-being, and even our physical health. Any psychologist will corroborate that, but the Inventor of our psyches, the Great Physician Himself, tells us in Ecclesiastes that "two are better than one." As much as I enjoy theories, I especially enjoy putting them into practice. That means throwing parties. Yes, parties in my small home, parties with delivered pizza and ice cream. We've had large New Year's parties, and we've had small parties to welcome home the new Corvette, or to show off the new rug. Over the years, I've learned that hospitality is much more a matter of the heart than a matter of the house. What better way to solidify lifetime friendships than to share and celebrate even the small moments in life.
