Oh, I know. It’s just something of a shock when it comes out of the blue like that. And I probably didn’t help things on my end by just getting pissed off at the way the evening was going, because it meant I spent less time at the table than normal and when I did probably wasn’t particularly cheerful. And, at least based on the two TripAdvisor post from the two dissatisfied parties, and a whole lot of emails, they had a very different view of the evening than I do.

You know, when the guy told me I had no right to an opinion or say in American politics I was so taken aback that I didn’t really know what to say. Truthfully, I should have asked he and his wife to leave, along with the foursome and had a quiet dinner with the other four people – maybe even joined them at the table. But, we’ve never actually thrown someone out, tempting as it may have been once or twice and I’m not sure I’m ready to start now.

One of the reasons I left studying psychology was that it involved being around too many crazy people. Sometimes on the wrong side of the locked door.
