[Evening] Comfy dinner talk.

There's a pretty nice essay about this (although more generally about amateurism): https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/29/opinion/sunday/in-praise-of-mediocrity.html
Lost here is the gentle pursuit of a modest competence, the doing of something just because you enjoy it, not because you are good at it. Hobbies, let me remind you, are supposed to be something different from work. But alien values like “the pursuit of excellence” have crept into and corrupted what was once the realm of leisure, leaving little room for the true amateur.
