The dinner sounds like it was delightful! I found the way some interacted with their phone as a way to "retreat without disbanding" very interesting...I've found myself doing just that occasionally when I'm with groups of people and it eases my social anxiety a lot but then I worry that people think I'm being rude, and the anxiety hits again. No way to win! So it was neat to hear how other people (younger people, specifically, I'm sure!) are accepting of that!
