After an old friend of Rob's writes a book, Rob is angry...at himself. After all, long ago he started writing a novel but never finished it. Now he wants to use his time off work finishing that book and proving to himself that he can do it. Unfortunately, while he's home working on it, he can't seem to get himself going...and he comes up with 1001 ways to distract himself from his task. Eventually, Laura convinces Rob to go off to a cabin and write where there will be no distractions. Does this plan work...or will Rob just continue to procrastinate?
This is just a fair episode, as seeing Dick Van Dyke doing all those things to avoid writing does become a bit tedious after a while. It's not bad exactly, but does wear a bit thin.
