PLAN A, FRIDAY:
Take *day or half day off work, meet babblers in Chicago from approx. 5 or 6 PM to 8 PM. Get back home with *reasonable* time left to fulfill relative duties. ("Reasonable" defined as, wife's part of the compromise.)
*YES! I'm giving you the afternoon off. You're welcome. ;-)
PLAN B, SATURDAY:
1. Tell them a short group road trip to Chicago would be a nice change of pace for you all.
2. Start out at a crowded place (e.g. Millenium Park; strolling Mich Ave; Lincoln Park; lunch destination), and LO AND BEHOLD!! Run into an old friend you haven't talked to in AGES!!!
3. Disappear for an hour or two (with wife in cahoots, as her part of the compromise).
Solved! See you there. ;-)
