Remember the block party we went to this summer? The one where the police showed up? Well, at that party, Stein inadvertently agreed to host part of the progressive holiday party in our neighborhood. We figured everyone would've forgotten the agreement. We thought that people had enough to drink by the time the topic came up, that they surely wouldn't remember.
They remembered.
Today when I got home, among all the holiday catalogs in our mailbox, was a card with "Kelly and David" written on it. It also had our address on it, but didn't have a return address, a stamp, or a post mark. I almost felt like I was being subpoenaed. In a way, we were. Subpoenaed to host part of the party.
In the card, the woman who brought the topic up at the summer block party, said, "They are planning a party for the 27th...yes it's last minute...but David had agreed to hosting part of it...was he still interested?"
When he came home from work and I told him about the card, he immediately said, "We can't. We're going to be out of town." We're really not going to be out of town. But maybe now we'll have to be.

France for the 28th (and my birthday) would be a great excuse!!!! I'll even take Stein skiing!!!!!!!
You might want to play nice with your neighbors. Otherwise you might be in danger of being labeled "that house".
