Very cool. Very sad.

Thanks guys, I'm totally thrilled that you liked it and that it "worked".

Numbers/Maths - I assume that Chaz has been this way as long as he can remember and that it isn't something he does consciously; it is the way that he sees the world.

Cell Phone - Dithered for a while about that - but reckoned that Social Services may have one and that it is given to whoever is the duty social worker for that shift. But yeah, it would be the size of a brick.

For kicks, a "State of the Art" Cell phone from the movie "Wall Street", Circa 1987:

My understanding is that Social Services are always underfunded and it is unlikely that they could have afforded one in that time period.  However, it doesn't really detract from the otherwise excellent story.  I just get a bug in my ear about stupid stuff like this.

Bravo, I say.  Bravo.

Hee - that phone looks so funny now! I remember being in awe of a friend's mother who had one a bit like that.

And thank you.

oh!  I'm all teary now!   That's really good, and I love the ghostbusters backpack -- what a great little detail!

Nice stuff.
