And if it's any salve, I called him Warren one time. We've been good friends for over twenty years!<br /><br />I really do know your name and love you, I do! Sometimes I call Ben by another name because I'm thinking about something else, and he just goes "Huh?" Today, I'm revising and trying to reply to emails and blog posts at the same time, thus disaster.
