Staybattical

So, you've heard of a "staycation" right?  It's where those of us who don't have money for tickets to Hawaii take our vacation time and watch Bones reruns and drool over Dr. Sweets because we have special emotional problems.  

Yes, I'm attracted to pre-pubescent boys in ill-fitting suits.  I don't see what's wrong with that.  

Anyway, Houseboy (who hit puberty long before I met him, and can even grow facial hair, so don't worry about that) has invented the concept of a "Staybattical."  Basically, once he's a full for-real professor, he's going to take the first opportunity he can to take a sabattical, but we're not going to Spain or Africa or Kentucky.  He's going to hang out in his underwear in our tv room and "write a book."  

I think he's brilliant, don't you?
