just how late is late?

I am kind of wondering what others think is late. Kev left last night to go watch football with our friend, Chuck. His last words were, "I won't be too late." At 1:00 I began wondering what his concept of too late was. Apparently he doesn't think 1:30 is too late...I kind of do. In my opinion once you hit midnight you're heading into late. So with that theory, 1:30 would be "too late."

I guess I just don't sleep well while he's not here (especially when he's going out with Chuck to watch a game of some sort). Last night with my cold on top of it, I got maybe two hours of sleep and that was once he was home and up front watching more tv. As soon as he came back to bed I was awake again. Snoring usually wakes me up. Let's just say it's going to be a long day at work today. Thankfully I'm not feeling as rough as I was Thursday and if it's slow enough I can go home early (I'm the extra help now on Saturdays).

Kev works tonight so I can putz around the house and maybe even get some work done on an ad I am having done next week, with enough time to do a second draft before heading to Hawaii.

I digress.

The question is: How late does it have to be to be considered late or too late.

how late is late is negotiable.

Each needs to know the others feelings about lateness.

I am sure you will be able to work it out.

Good luck.

I usually ask "around what time" and we agree if it will be later, we'll call the other person & keep them informed, and especially if getting a ride home is of issue.
Your dad put it wisest. :)

Mathematically speaking, "Not too late" would be earlier than the average of all the times that a person was "really quite late." So, if you figure in all those times during high school that I snuck in at 6 am, "Not too late" for me would be 2 am. However, if we shrink the time window to "in the past sixth months" and take that average, then "not too late" becomes 11 pm.

Erm. But I don't think that marriage has been defined mathematically, so it's likely best to go with the Tao of Dad.
