Molly's 8 now (9 next month!) the years fly by.
The brood now also includes Mark (5) and my partner's child Ben (6)
They all get on well together - we merged families a few years ago when they were much younger.
I'm enjoying the real life grind. Think I'm a much less caustic chap now I don't play the computer pokers 14 hours a day. Some folk are able to do it as a hobby and stay balanced, not me unfortunately. I'm an all or nothing personality. 'All' meant bad times so it's had to be nothing. Don't miss the poker but do miss the people.
9 next month? Wow!
You have a Mark and a Ben? Wow!
I no longer play poker for a living, the game sort of moved on and left me behind but I do still enjoy it as a hobby.
I didn't mean caustic in a bad way by the way, (way too many ways in that sentence) I probably should have said acerbic wit.
I remember the first time I met you, it was at a festival in Blackpool ~ 2005. I couldn't believe the chap who wrote all that insightful stuff on blonde would wear a beige suit and a pork pie hat.
Happy days.
