well, sit right down and i'll tell a tale, a tale of a fateful greek tragedy. haha. Seriously, i suppose you could put it best to Disney's Hercules "go the distance" song for now, but I'm in the process of writing an original score. And thank you, i try to march to the rythem of my own drum. Although it is sometimes off-beat and poorly executed, i find it humerous. In life, one needs humor if one is to maintain sanity.

Yes, sir! -or madame. That is my pen name, borrowed from "Hamlet". As for the Ficklebottom, that is just to add a silly element, ala Dr. Seuss. I was actually a children's poet before I was a writer.

hey, i really like where this is going! I especially liked the name "Marlow Billingsly", haha. I probably wouldn't have let the characters meet Baba until chapter 3 or so, but i did enjoy it!

No matter the situation, if you can't learn to laugh, you're beaten.

It was supposed to be a long joke. The joke being that the story was a set-up for a tale about the 9-11 attacks, but turned out to be the phone number change. My apologies, bad writing on my part. I just thought of it here at work and had to jot something down while it was still in my head.
