   "Every day I come home from school you're working on the computer."

   "Well, at least I'm here   22   you!"

   My daughter was right. Day after day, in my home office, I would stare into space as my   23   typed out the thoughts of a speaker or research completed for an article. It seemed that my work as a writer and speaker   24    my fingers to the keyboard and my mind to valuable ideas. What Laure did not   25    was that during her day away, I'd also be doing a lot of housework. It was only around three in the afternoon that I'd   26    seat myself at my desk for a few   27   moments of deep thought. Then she'd come in from school．

    Years later we still have that   39   sign. I've become much more sensitive to my daughters' comings and goings.   40   she always gives me a little hug to remind me of the real reason I work at home.
