[Magdalen] Coffee Cups vs Wine Glasses

[Marion Thompson]

I disagree that stem-holding is exceptional.  Me, myself, and I, my 
kids, my ex-s, my friends, acquaintances, are all stem holders, unless 
we're drinking plonk in a tumbler, which has been known to happen. ;-)   
It really isn't being precious or affected; just the way it is.   I'll 
check my sweeping generalization after tonight's Marions rehearsal.  
Some of you may be making sweeping statements, too.

Or maybe it really is another example of the great American/Canadian divide.
