Huh.  Did I hear something?

My wife is leaving tomorrow. Alone. For her work. Leaving me with the kids for nine days. Two boys, 7 and 5. I. Am. Going. To. Die. Where can I hide both from them and from my job?

Actually, I'm going to milk the single-dad-for-a-week angle for all its worth. No meetings, no office hours (can't anyway--have to pick up kids from school), nothing except free time, but only between 8 and 5. Wow. A normal work life.

Is it true that chocolate-chip cookies eaten on the Hiding Thread don't result in weight gain?

Yes. Most definitely.

Hmmmm...  That potted plant looks suspicious.

That's not a potted plant. That's my new hat.

Suddenly, my plant is gone. I'm feeling exposed.

Ah well. At least there's this tray of brownies.

Have the brownies got the plant baked into them?

I avoid suspicious looking plants.

I need to crawl back in my tent and chair. I've had a headache since 8 this morning. Why is it always Saturdays?  I had the headache before I overslept.

Hmmm... where'd this candy come from?

I get really stressed the day before I travel. I don't know why. And my Powerpointses are not done-ses.

I believe I will wrap another Great Dane about my shoulders and drink heavily.

Oooh, I see an unoccupied sofa.

Please, carry on.

Yes. I have to do something, otherwise I look like a cross between Einstein and Medusa.

Actually, I think you should flaunt the look.  But not, of course, if you need some time in this dimly lit, many-cornered retreat.

I remember this happening to me as a child. . .  I'm assuming if she's the primary child caretaker, she's also the chef.  Don't be a hero.  Order pizza.  Remember, they are more afraid of you than you are of them.
