I was expecting a quiet evening with Karen (who was late), Venkatesh, Arnaud and Valerie. Maurice had declined the invitation for some obscure reason. When I opened the door I had a terrible shock seeing all these people lined up behind the door. Were they here for the gratin? The ham? Of course not: They were here to 'watch TV' and celebrate somebody's birthday. I don't know how to thank all of you! It was a BLAST!! Can't wait to open the door next year!
