I'll heading out tonight to an 'investment dinner' my

Some of the older ones make it to the restaurant
occasionally, but for the most part none of us pass
up a good dinner.

Oh no.  Never any sales pitches at these dinners.  We're
already his clients, why would he need to pitch any sales
at us??
We've also attended summer get togethers where he's had
guest speakers from the Social Security Administration
as well as a lawyer explaining about wills, trusts, taxes
on estates, etc.  None have been sales talks, just
informational get togethers.   Lunch was provided at
these meetings and lots of questions from those attending.

Pretty sure these dinners are claimed as business expenses
on his income tax return each year.

You'd miss out on a great meal, but no speakers at these
dinners.
Anyway, I'm stuffed and brought my walnut brownie with
bitter sweet chocolate sauce home with me.
