Authomatics and Expectations.

Although there have been a few Automatic Peeps of the Week this year, we will be hard pressed to meet the record at the Thanksgiving Eve Bash last year when no less than five bottles of Lagavulin were conveyed with great ceremony to the Mountain of a Man, thus triggering an Authomatic POTW designation.

Not that I advocate this practice, Peeps.  Although the gesture is more than appreciated.

As the great actor, Anthony Hopkins said,..."Expect Nothing, Accept Everything."

So we will be heading to the Bash in that exceptional frame of mind.  It makes everything so much easier.

Speaking of that, you already know if you are invited, even if no formal invitations exist. 
You know who you are.
