The Way You Begin to Think After a While

I'm less than 3 hours from when I need to start a training and our projector is missing. I let the kids borrow it to watch movies on during Christmas break, and now I can't find it.

Now, in most families the thought would be, "well, it's got to be in this house somewhere."

But what if it isn't? What if Mike stole that too? And calling and having someone ask him if he stole it won't work because he'd lie. So, do I have everyone look frantically and possibly never find it?

Or do I give up and buy one (not cheap) and then have us find it?

Sometimes it would be nice to have the luxury of living in a house where you could say, "It's gotta be here somewhere."
