A lesson learned about common dining.

We serve 5 meals a week and from 25 -- 55 people/meal.

Make sure your tables are 28- 30 inches wide. We went the standard 36 inch
fold downs and they inhibit intimate conversation, create more noise. We are
moving to replace them with the narrower tables--like the ones in nearly
every restaurant.

I'm wondering, Tom, how long are your tables?  YOu sound very lived in and
established!  Congratulations.
