My entire captain's meeting the other night after the introductions and all the permutations of handshakes.
"Be good sports and have fun."
(One of the captains was so impressed with the brevity of my meeting, that she said, "That's it? COOL!")
One of my regular partners says I have the shortest captain's meeting and spend the longest time at the table. It's either that or spend 10-ish minutes back opposite the table with him.
I never ask my partners for input -- it keeps them from having any. I simply turn (I stand tableside with my back to the table when I'm the R) and go right to the table.
