Nice to see my name up there ahead of Albert Camus and Lewis Carroll. (OK, Baum gives preferential seating). Hoping to send you the latest release of One Life soon!

I look forward to that! I shall finish up with my outstanding books then so as to have a clear run at it. If only your name was Mr Aardvark then you would have been number one, food for thought perhaps.
