　　I recently ran into a friend I hadn't seen for a long while.Our conversation was lively and full of news from both sides.Before we parted she said，“You'll have to drop in sometime.” I immediately sensed that if I simply “dropped in”，I would take my friend by surprise，and I would be discouraged by the image of her standing in her doorway，staring at me，and asking，“Oh，er...what brings you here？”

　　Whatever happened to the unannounced dropin visit？When I was growing up in the 1960s，it seemed that people mostly relatives，but also friends were always popping__in．My parents would put coffee on，and my mom would find something in the kitchen to serve along with it.Then the conversation would begin...The neighbor lady，a worrier，was unloading her sadness while my mom quietly listened.The Irish man next door had such an accent that I remember asking what language he spoke.My Polish relatives arrived in packs...But I never heard my parents say anything like “We weren't expecting you” or “This isn't a good time.” Dropin visitors had a certain right of way and became No.1.
