I'm sorry I haven't got out today. The reason I haven't got out today is because he is doing

the audio book of my new book, The Savage Storm. And he hasn't quite finished it. He's got

a couple of chapters to go. I always try and write sort of shorter books, but they always

end up being longer than intended. And you know, that's the case here. So anyway, but you know,

John, it's not like we haven't got enough to talk about. So anyway, first of all, how
