Simpsons and Re: DH reading plan

[potioncat]

Potioncat:
Did anyone catch this week's Simpsons? There was a spoof of the HP 
series. "Oh, is this the fantasy book for kids that grown ups like?" 
The old wizard dies and Homer is upset. (Lisa takes it in stride, much 
like in my house.) My son and I are chatting about how many jokes refer 
to HP and my poor, shocked husband exclaims, "Dumbledore dies!?" We 
spared him the details.

Plan:
I learned my lesson with OoP...I have to lay in a good supply of easily 
prepared food, and make a casserole or two so that my family won't 
starve. Then I find a comfortable place and start reading. Only this 
time, I have to travel with kids that week and we'll get back home on 
Friday night. The family may have to fend for themselves.

I'm considering returning home on Saturday, letting my teenager 
drive...but I'm not sure if that means I won't notice his driving 
infractions or worse, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on the book.
