While sitting at the front desk at the one’s face involuntarily pucker, which is newspaper office, I decided to dip into Mrs. Perry’s bag of candy.

I will be coming to dinner if invited, though I won’t ever show up uninvited. As I stated before, it most likely has cost me a great deal of good eats, but I am a stickler for good manners and proper etiquette. No, I am not some fancy pants, but I pride myself on these things most ignore, good manners.
