When the phone rings three times, it’s the business line. My sons know this and are used to trying to keep the volume down when that happens. This is even more critical in the summer, when they are hanging around all day.

I could put them in camps but I like having them and their hairy, smelly friends around. It does affect my efficiency, especially when we take spur of the moment field trips to the Lego store or geo-caching, but the work gets done so nevermind.
