Exactly, Kate. When I lived alone, this is almost precisely what I did
every night during the week. Weekends I often went out to dinner.

At the time I had a formal dining room which I preferred not to eat in
alone, but only a very tiny dropleaf kitchen table which wasn't
particularly comfortable, and I sat at it, I was staring at the wall.

That as pre-PC, however, so now if I were living alone, I'd probably eat in
front of the computer. :-)
