The Setting…a 3′ x 10′ plank Table, with a Hemp, olive-green Tablecloth…

The 2nd Half…the “Right-brain Half”, would feature Coffee & Peanut Brittle…
& whatever Subjects come to Mind.
Decorum for “A Table for 10” shall be…
No Loud Talking…Fast Talking…Talking over 1 Another…F-Bombs…Elbows-on-the Table…or Sentences beginning with “Look”
Dress Code for Gents…open Collar or Bolo Tie…No Cravats!…for Ladies…No Bare Shoulders or Pearls
