How long before you leave again?

Brian needs to get a job. Really, enough sharing already! I haven't had a good long stretch of writing unbroken by his enthusiasm since he ended his career with EETimes and entered a month-long hiatus. It's not that he keeps interrupting me, although he does. It's that annoying jolly step, as he tramps through the house from one busy project to the next. It's 15 years of deferred to-dos unleashed. But even when he's not moving around, from behind my office door, his silence is probably most distracting. It's his prolonged presence in the kitchen, for example; I ache to know what he's getting into. No, FEAR what he's getting into! He also keeps asking me how the writing is going. More than once a day. I think we need some ground rules.
