Looks chilly outside, but I need to venture out in a few minutes since the dogs, the cat and my daughter's Russian tortoise have all decided to run out of food at the same time.
I think the kids and I have developed a strategy of coping without my wife. I issue the occasional grunt/brief command concerning food, homework or bedtime, which they won't acknowledge vocally, but will, nonetheless, act upon. Otherwise, I avoid them, they avoid me, and all is well. Oh, my 9 year-old did communicate with me briefly yesterday to inform me that he needs a better graphics card for his PC. I didn't ask why.
