I just opened a new group that I would love for you to join. I call it *Cocktail Time*. I hope that you will share your short stories that you might tell to a gathering of people at cocktail time. Recipes for drinks, appetizers and sweets are also welcome. I only ask that you use refine adult language at this Cocktail Time hour. Thank you in Advance.

My friend was talking about his 40th birthday party held at an upscale restaurant in Boston. His friend asked him what was his favorite movie and he said, "Lawrence of Arabia". He mentioned that Peter O'Toole did a wonderful acting job and was one of the greatest actors of all time. His friend argued that it was another actor that played Lawrence of Arabia. They went back and forth on who was right. Voices getting louder than acceptable restaurant behavior.
A man finished with his own dinner, sitting at a near by table, got up from his seat, walked over to the men and said with confidence "I over heard your conversation and it was Peter O' Toole."
Peter O'Toole turned and left the restaurant. My friends stared with their mouths open. It was one of the best 40th birthday presents he will ever remember.

Great idea for a group! I used to love cocktail time among sailors, the sun going down, the feeling of wind burn and happiness.
Peter O'Toole story - that's a fun read.
Here extending a helping hand.
My sis and I have our Boston Legal hour on the phone now that I am close to 1000 miles away. It is the time we quit for the day and relax no cigars though and wine replaced the scotch!
lately it has been sparkly white grape but the relaxing is always there people know all else is on hold during that time!!
