It makes you wonder.
I don't entertain but should I wish to, I have enough stuff to set a table for twelve.
So why did I feel compelled to buy a bunch of glasses ?
For sure they were cheap
and for sure I thought they were nice looking
but why ?
A secret desire to one day have dinner parties with scintillating conversations and superbly prepared dishes and lots and lots of water glasses ?
I sure don't know,
but what I do know is that now, right now, I have a set of twelve water glasses stored in a cabinet, not likely to be used for a long, long time.
It makes you wonder, though.

I think you answered your own question... that longing for high-quality conversation and good food... and even salad might look good!? no?
I think its fair to say that was a modern, consumer-society effect of jungle-cabin fever... even if you do have a most fantastic view and incredible flora and fauna... the arias are only on the radio or CD, and dinners are for one..
Halbyhofburg or Mallorca (your little square) really need to happen soon!
