Pot Lucks and Pauschian Head Fakes ....

So the next time we meet for a pot luck, consider this.

By accepting to attend, you have just committed yourself for a 4-6 hr
block of time away from your busy life, you have also committed yourself
to cooking something, so what if we did this instead:
Instead of bringing a dish to the party, you find an item to donate and
bring it to the party. This is something we typically put off for spring
cleaning or wait for a compelling charitable moment to arrive in our
otherwise busy life. But given that you just committed your time, use it
to round up books, clothes, electronics or whatever else you want to
donate.
We'll order pizza and beer instead and pick a charity of our choice and
drop off the pot on our way back from the party? The luck of the pot
goes to the charity of our choice and we give new meaning to the word
party donations!

We'll still party or still think we're partying anyways! Thank goodness
for head fakes!
