A fine event, but a bit chilly and rainy. A lot of people and a martini bar. And a lot of standing. After about 45 minutes I had to sit down. Normally this was unheard of for me. People are good about it, but it is strange to be sitting and chatting over drinks and loud music with others while they are standing. Doesn't seem right, does it?
It is often this feeling of strangeness that drags me from dealing with physical discomfort to do what is expected; when at a party, you are supposed to stand and talk to others.
