“I brought you Fancy Breakfast!” I announce with fanfare.
“Thanks!” My husband, Scott, is working from his satellite office-slash-bedroom.

“Wow! It IS fancy!” he says, without even an iota of sarcasm.
“Living like kings, baby!” I’m walking out of the room.
“In exile!” he continues.
“And recently deposed!”
By now I’m halfway down the hall, shouting exultantly, “But kings nonetheless!”
