Aren't the kids 14 or so, the boy even older? Can't they survive a couple
of days without their parents?

"Could" and "should" are two very different things.

I'm sure my 16 year old son and 13 year old daughter would have a
GRAND time with us gone for a week. I know I surely would have, at
their age.

Which leads us to Montblack, and his "Iron Fist" of discipline. We're
counting on him to keep our kids on the straight and narrow...and
perhaps even make them attend school during the week we're gone.

Mary is currently working on the NOTAM for Montblack now. It's
currently as long as the Sun N Fun Arrival Procedure, and will soon
exceed the Oshkosh NOTAM in both length and depth....
