Spoken like a true geek who KNOWS who is really in charge.

But having to choose between warm room full of like-minded geeks and a
cold couch, no contest. The spouse unit wins EVERY time!

Maybe you could move over enough to spend the night, grab an ALE
meeting, then finish Friday?

Of course, I'm not currently living with my in-laws. Someone would be in
jail for multiple offenses if either set of in-laws shared a roof with
my family for longer than a day.
