			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had company in town for four days and it was fun, but disruptive.  That&#8217;s pretty much always the case.  It&#8217;s like life goes on hold for the duration of their visit.</p>

<p>That&#8217;s what is weird.  You&#8217;re having a good time enjoying yourself and the company of the people close to you and you don&#8217;t want it to end, but at the same time you can&#8217;t wait for them to leave.  I guess it&#8217;s part of that fantasy world you live in when you&#8217;re suspending the crap that really needs to get done (like work or laundry or scooping the cat shit) so you can show them a good time and have a good time yourself.</p>

<p>You know because when they leave fun time is over and it&#8217;s back to reality.  Just the same your friends know that when they leave they have to do the same damn thing.  Not counting the long-ass flight back to wherever they came.</p>

<p>Something to think about.</p>
