This is M. She and I met at Marshfield Junior High when I happened to sit next to her at the lunch table and announced, "My mom had nine miscarriages!" We've been best friends ever since. She's been my rock through all the stresses of my life. I would take a bullet for her.

The first time I saw K in person was at the Barcelona airport. She's in my cohort at Cedar Crest. We shared a cab to our hotel and, in two weeks, pretty much traipsed every inch of the city. She loves people and shares my unquenchable passion for gelato and writing.![]() |

This is B and me. B is one of the many talented writers in my cohort. Her work is delicious, her words chewy. We only had a couple of meals together, but I think she's great, every outspoken, comedic, down-to-earth bit of her.

I love this woman! B! You're the best! |
