My life has changed so much in recent years, but one thing hasn't changed.  Parties are still very awkward and something I try to avoid.  Yet, I did get invited to a party hosted by a girl maybe a bit more than ten years younger than me.  Yes, it is awkward, but I suppose I manage the awkwardness a bit better in my late thirties.  I am just wowed at how different people are than I was when I was in my twenties.  

Still, I guess some people invite a lot of people of the opposite gender to their parties, even though they have someone already. Well, at least I got some experience playing pool.
