The Man who came to dinner.

No, not Monty Woolley. Mitt Romney's recent reference to Seinfeld brought to mind the following. We have recently moved from Florida to the Philadelphia area to be near family and friends. The downside to such a move is that we will be near family and friends. Within three days of our arrival in the midst of unpacking there came a knock on the door. It was a member of our extended family offering to help. As it was a Friday we were getting ready to kick back when our visitor commandeered the TV remote to check in on the PBS News Hour after which a stimulating half-hour of Jeopardy. With no further movement we invited our guest to stay for potluck dinner. Now, flash back to a Seinfeld episode where George Costanza, after escorting his date back to her apartment, always tried to leave behind a personal item as an excuse to return to see her again. When I awoke Saturday morning I found that our guest had left his briefcase behind a chair so I then planned to re-stock the larder anticipating his return. Quick, hide the remote!
