I was thinking about him yesterday. I've noticed he takes a break from here now and then, so I expect and hope he'll return soon.

It's not unusual for Ed to take a break. He hasn't posted on his blog or commented on the other ones he usually frequents. (I swear I'm not stalking him, we just visit the same places.)

I assume he's very busy.

The man is busy making a living.

Ed does step away, now and again. He occasionally asks for a self-ban, and I ignore the request until the urge passes. :) We loves us our Ferret.

He's probably off stuffing his face with fast food and ratcheting up his blood pressure. You know, like a good little ferret.

I noticed the absence too. And wondered.

Yes, it just isn't the same.

I'm fine. Thanks for asking.

I just don't feel like a writer any more.

I've written all of 300 words THIS YEAR.

I think I've come to realize I've only been fooling myself into thinking I can be a fiction writer.

And if I'm not a writer, then why waste everyone's time by posting here?

And don't discount the advice you can offer others on this board. Stick around Ed. We need prog metalheads.

Yes, Ferret, I (and presumably many others) miss you and were beginning to worry about your absence. I don't think I've ever interchanged any posts with you (I'm too scared of OP), but I've enjoyed your posts.

You didn't just say that did you?

I haven't written at all this year. You don't see me beating me up do you, dork?

As if you're wasting our time posting here. TCH!!!

Dork. Waste my time anytime.

you martyr and shine.
The whole point of Office Party is wasting time, Ed. And you were so good at it. Please don't give up. OP without you is like popcorn without salt.
