Sandra and the kids are headed up to Boise for a “cousins party.” They left around noon, and in the nice, quiet house I reviewed a few hundred pages of Product Requirements, and drilled into 60 of them.
I’m ready for them to come home now. This place is too quiet.
I had planned to spend the weekend on the Buffer-Fu, but the more I think about it, the more I’d rather throw me and a change of clothes into Turboschlock and drive to Boise. Sadly, I can’t do that until Friday afternoon, because I’m reviewing a few hundred pages of Product Requirements with my team in an all-day meeting tomorrow.
The way I figure it, without the family around it’ll be a non-productive weekend ANYWAY. I might as well spend 10 hours in my car so I can spend a day or so with them. And while I’m at it, there’s a really cool Disc Golf course in Boise…

Yeah.
There’s some weekends where your close ones are gone, and the hours fly by. Then you have those weekends where you spend most minutes dwelling on stupid things you can do to be with them as soon as humanly possible.
Now is your chance to be a lonely drunk. Any bars nearby?
Now’s when he takes the time to script Schlock being melancholy about not having a family…. nah. 😀
Some things are more important than the buffer.
What are they?
Whatever they are, they endanger my entertainment so I want them found and shot! 🙂
More seriously, Howard, ya gotta do what ya gotta do….and if what ya gotta do involves insane amounts of driving so you can kiss the Mrs, tickle the short beings, and, incidentally, get in a round of frisbee golf, so be it.
I second that:)
I’ve done some insane things to be with my fiencee.. and it’s been worth it every time. Sometimes being with the people you care about is the only thing that will help. Everything else will wait 2 days:)
Go. Family rocks (most of the time).
