I am here for Friends

About Me


I am intrigued by enigmatic juxtapositions. Or complementary pairings. Like chocolate and raspberry. Silk and denim. Norah Jones and The Ramones. Stargazing and city lights. Play it loud and sing it soft. Billie Joe and Adrienne. Lemons and lemonade. Saturday Night Live and the History Channel. Sweet and salty. Love and death (yeah, I stole that from Woody Allen). Steel and magnolias (stole that, too).

R.I.P., Old Friend

How do you say goodbye to an old friend when he's already gone? I lost a friend today. More than a friend; a mentor. Someone who took a chance on me when maybe other people wouldn't have. Someone who...
