Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
: My wife and I were at an informal outdoor party for a child’s birthday. Right when we arrived, the hosts offered cold bottles of good beer.
The host said sure, walked about 10 feet into his kitchen and returned with a glass. The beer tasted wonderful. Everyone seems to feel obligated to greet each other with “good morning” as they pass, which happens with such great frequency that I am distracted from my pacing and my thoughts.
