I know you missed me, and it was very kind of you—brave, even—to refrain from nagging.

Welcome back!

Elio: Sorry if my glib remarks about “unemployment” caused confusion. I *do* still write the “Computing Science” column for American Scientist, and doing so keeps me pretty busy. But it’s not a job in the usual sense of that word: I don’t have to get up in the morning and go to the office.
