She’s the victim of a malfunctioning computer that has kept her from blogging for the past week. This is not the reason why she fled the Outpost for a while, but it may explain why she may not have wanted to come back—a thought quickly put aside by her strong homing instinct to recapture the Senator and Governor, before the Green Goddess and Professor entirely corrupted the boys.
The Chairman and VP took off for Las Vegas with a group of friends and left the two boys and two dogs in our custody. Let me tell you, it was tough corralling those kids under grandparental control. However, we managed. The Green Goddess set the tone with a stern, introductory lecture announcing that, when Mom and Dad are away, we “can break all the rules we want.” That included bedtime, which was extended significantly. Only safety was exempted from our rule against rules. The Outpost is too far from an emergency room to let the Senator wave his light saber from a precarious foothold on an arm of the sofa. Too bad, he’s really cute, doing that.
Thanks to our discipline, there was none of this getting up intermittently throughout the night. When those boys hit the sack, they were out, out, out. The Governor was zonked for 10 hours every night and the Senator almost as long. (I keep telling the parents that Chardonnay makes a wonderful bedtime treat. Hey, it’s grape juice, isn’t it?) Not to worry, Chairman, we didn’t really uncork that bottle in your basement refrigerator. Just want to keep you suitably concerned.
The Chairman should be back on the net, soon.
Are the Senator and the Governor being subjected to such rigorous discipline as an election year ploy? ;-)
My sympathies on the errant electronics. Always a frustrating occurence. Hopefully the trip to Las Vegas will put these tribulations in a better light.
I was wondering what happened to your blog. Glad you're back.
