Thank you...

to my good friends: jen s, suzanne, sergio, nora and brady. For celebrating my special day with me. As I told you over several martinis, it felt like a combination birthday, wedding and giving birth day (other than the drinks - none of those during giving birth). It was joyous. And you guys made it more so. You forced me to acknowledge the wonder of this incredible day. Yahoo for April 22, 2008! It was the only day in my life that I will ever have been able to say, "I published my very first book today." Thank you. You guys are the best.
