How rude. I think it is time to unsubscribe to this blog if accepting 2 dinner invitations for the same night is even to be momentarily considered. LaDuchessa Dear LaDuchessa, Thank you for writing? Yes, thank you for writing. While SP appreciates your perspective, I think perhaps you may have missed the point of the post. SP strives to present modern dilemmas that hopefully relate to present time and situations not covered in traditional etiquette books. Or perhaps I didn't clarify the situations or (and this is a tough one) perhaps you are absolutely correct. While I do believe my presence is a valued one at the events I am lucky enough to be invited to I also am not delusional to think they cannot be successful without me. A little less animated or sober, perhaps, but not entirely unsuccessful. At any rate, the post was written as mea culpa not braggadocio. And my hostesses have forgiven me, can't you?

Dear LaDuchessa,
Thank you for writing? Yes, thank you for writing. While SP appreciates your perspective, I think perhaps you may have missed the point of the post. SP strives to present modern dilemmas that hopefully relate to present time and situations not covered in traditional etiquette books. Or perhaps I didn’t clarify the situations or (and this is a tough one) perhaps you are absolutely correct. While I do believe my presence is a valued one at the events I am lucky enough to be invited to I also am not delusional to think they cannot be successful without me. A little less animated or sober, perhaps, but not entirely unsuccessful. At any rate, the post was written as mea culpa not braggadocio. And my hostesses have forgiven me, can’t you?
Cordially,
SP
