Open Letter

Dear Over-Inviters Anonymous,
With my sincerest thanks to you, I am withdrawing my membership. I believe myself to be cured of my compulsion to over-invite. With your support, I've come to see that quality time with just one friend can be just as nice as a party with many friends. I am seeing this principle played out with my friend, Persnicketta. She and I have had a long-standing dinner/coffee date for months. Now that the date is approaching, I did, briefly, feel the strong urge to invite a number of friends. After some reflection, though, I realized I would prefer to spend the evening just talking with Persnicketta. I thank you for the progress you've helped me make in this area, and I will enthusiastically point my over-inviting friends your way. Thank you again, and I will miss you all. (Maybe not Harry.)
