Enzo - how are you? How good to have back! Are you writing? How's the baby?

Yes, I'm well thanks Tony - sorry to have missed the Brighton event, sounded great. All's well, thanks. The baby is nearly one, I've been married almost a month, I've got a steadily expanding waistline and I'm off the ciggies for a year and a half. I've been writing a bit - I confess to a pseudonym or two over the past months http://www.abctales.com/story/ben/matress, http://www.abctales.com/story/shiver/gem - all a bit pointless really, should have stuck with Enzo. ABCtales seems lively at the moment. Good to see! How's things?

How many others have you written eh? You know, the non cherry picked ones. Only kidding, welcome back. Fatherhood, don't it bring things into perspective. Congrats with the fags, the one I confess to having no control over. Craig

I guessed you were ben...

Ooh, you litle tinker - trying to fool us - but you still get the cherries! We're all very good in ABCland. Lots of great things happening and the site is in fine fettle, technologically and people-wise (ugh). Personally I seem to spend an awful lot of time travelling to see the grandchildren but it's well worth it!

Hey Craig, Foster - glad you're both here. All well? Where are the grandchildren based, Tony?

All is well, thanks for asking. I hadn't been around a while myself, nothing exciting, just a bust computer! Craig

Well my friends call me the 'Punctuation Nazi' because I'm constantly correcting them on things like that. People do it all the time on youtube.com. When I point out if they want to insult me or the things I love they should at least use proper punctuation I normally get a string of abuse telling me where I can stick my apostrophe :)
