Right. 'Cause he'd had so much time on his hands, recently. He barely even found time to get back to Santa Cruz, half the time. He looked away again, focusing on cutting the bread, cheese, and veggies, and finding a bowl to mix the tuna salad in. He was drunk enough to know that'd require some concentration -- he wasn't about to be the one accidentally slicing off body parts, here.
