On my last weekend in Vancouver, a group of my closest friends got together with me to have fun, flirt, and celebrate friendship. It has been a hard year, and my girlfriends have been patient and enduring with me, and they have been there when I needed a shoulder to cry on, a hug, or just a set of ears to listen. They've offered their loving support and very un-critical advice when I've asked for it. And, true to form, they came out on Saturday night to send me off to the next leg of my journey here on this crazy planet. I am so thankful for each of them! So today I raise a glass to all my girlfriends, and to girlfriends everywhere! None of us can live without them.
