    Any suggestions for staying out of the doghouse and still going on dragweek?

    Have flowers show up every day I'm gone for dragweek? Arrange a weekend get away before or after?
    Keep Juan the pool boy on thru Sept

    Definitly go with a planned event AFTER Drag Week or maybe in May before the gotta-get-it-done sickness is upon you.

    After DW therefore is best, and pre-paid so that the inevitable Drag Week induced spending spree and unscheduled repairs don't FUBAR the anniversary. That's what I do, along with unneccessary gifts. Although the Accusump didn't impress much.

    In worse case, just ask her how old she is again, duck and hit the road!

    John, you're assuming of course that DW will occur in its traditional time slot, which I don't believe has been confirmed. So there is a possibility, however slim, that this is a moot point. Not likely, but possible.

    Time off without pay . . . familiar with that concept . . . . THX

    - with a 4 year old - taking her along would mean taking her and him along - and we all know that wouldn't end well... even if I do have AC and tunes in the falcon by then.

    Roses delivered on the day - that's a good one for sure.
    Be sure to include a bottle of Rum with the flowers!

    Roses delivered on the day - that's a good one for sure. I think the romantic get away before or after will be required... that will have to be a surprise I plan (since she usually does the vacation planning and is a nazi about getting the cheapest flight, etc)

    My employer allows us to purchase extra vacation days. It amounts to unpaid days off..

    2. Tell her you've bought a romantic get-a-way trip for the big ONE-ZERO! What bride some ten years on wouldn't simply love the adventure of riding around for a week in an un-air conditioned, rowdy beast on scenic drives between drag strips? Just bring her along . . . She is handy with an electric impact wrench, isn't she?
    Depends on the woman. My wife (22 years now) loved Drag Week. The un-airconditioned car was not a big deal to her. I should mention that she now has 20 years in the military so adverse conditions are not a problem. Especially if the reward is having me cornered in the car for many hours.

    (Note: If we were chicks, we would be "burying the lead" in an Oprah-sized heap of "tedious and painful" stories . . . .
