So you didn’t de-lurk just for me? Now I’m sad again. Turns out it was just about that stupid novel of yours and that stupid computer and other stupid stuff… 😛  
Naah, I’m just foolin’. It is really good to have you back. But I’m all embarrased now, I did confess to having a crush on you just before you left, thinking you were indeed leaving. And now you’re back. :o  
Anyway… Come to the zoo, your first ice cream is free at the Soda Fountain.
