Why thank you so much, Joy.
It's good to be back. And I was away for some considerable time (possibly the longest amount of straight time I've ever been away since joining WDC almost so long ago I'm an original. No I wasn't in jail. But I was gettin' hitched to a fellow WDC-er! (and that's still a big secret so don't ask.) She'll announce herself by and by.
The strangest thing happened though, while I was away.
I actually turned into a writer. Imagine my astonishment.
Would be much obliged to swap some reads & stories and general yak.
Oh - and by the way - the laugh and cry bit?
That's from a rock and roll song I wrote when I was young and even more foolish than I am now.
cheers,

Captain Midnight
Just let me laugh when it's funny
and when it's sad, let me cry
