I just wanted to take this moment to thank a few people:
- to Suzi, who picked me up from the airport and took me across the Bay Bridge during Friday night rush hour and then joined me in drunken revelry Saturday and crashed with me Saturday night.
- to Javachik, who came out Saturday night despite having the beginnings of a cold and then also joined me in drunken revelry and crashing in a heap on Juliana's bed that night. Also for her tip about avoiding the Southwest security line at the Oakland Airport.
- to Deb, who joined me for dinner despite having had a hell of a week
- to P-C, who came out to dinner and hung out with the drunken silly women, which can be trying when one doesn't drink.
- to Hec, who made me yummy waffles, and to Hec & JZ for sharing their home and their cutiehead baby
- to Emily, who joined me for waffles and great conversation
...and most of all...
- to Juliana, who took me in, kept me laughing, took me shopping and touring North Beach, took care of me, and was generally an amazing friend for the duration, despite being sick as a dog the whole time. Thank you, love. I will pay you back somehow someday.
You all made this weekend not only bearable, but actually fun. Hugs.
