Visitors

I'm lucky enough to have friends who've stuck with me and three who try to keep me alive by visiting. That's quite a big deal considering how antisocial I've become; they expend quite a bit of energy on my behalf and for scant thanks, too.

SJ drives hours to come here when she can, and not only does she do a million chores that I find near-impossible, but she bring all kinds of delicacies that sustain me in soul as much as in body.

A couple of times a month Tiff drives miles in the wrong direction after a full workday to bring news, company, takeaway, and frequently a box of whatever she decides looks good in the market. At one time she was my boss - that's amazing, in a way. We used to do little book projects together of one sort or another, but I can't say I contribute much to the mix these days.

Enjah is a constant virtual companion - except not this week. A generous spirit who usually feeds my soul with laughter on a daily basis, she's visiting here in person on Friday - and I'm quite excited. She'll be only the third internet friend I've met. Are you freezing, Enj?

I'd like to officially say "Thank you," to all three.
