My friend Kim was walking along Central Park in New York, when this drunk started following her and harassing her. Kim was feeling a little vulnerable when she heard this familiar voice say “Honey! Where have you been?” And step in stride beside her was our hero Mr. Murray. He walked with her, chatting, until the guy backed off and disappeared. I think he was spotted by some uniformed sailors at that point and Kim managed to thank him and went on her way. A gentleman.

Sionnac is an inspirational force for beauty and wisdom in the world. She has an artist’s eye (and hand!), a great smile, and enviable hair. ;-)

Goddessparkle has a great sense of style, true grace, a kickass blog and makes wonderful photographs.

Jobiv writes superbly, can make a grey day seem like the springtime, and has a talent for instilling courage in even the most reluctant would-be karaoke novice – let’s go !!!

Ahh, the Divine Ms. D! She kept me afloat through most of grad school from her post behind the main desk of the library. I yearn for the JP dinner parties! Even better, the Breakfast For Dinner parties!

Because she’s the older sister I never had.

Saw him play in Somerville October this year (2005) but was too shy to stay and say hello. Great show.

Arahsae came to live with me as a roommate in 2002. Never have a moment’s hesitation in thinking of her as family. The best way, I mean! Not the scrappy does-this-bother-you-I’m-not-touching-you way. Arahsae sings a lot; I miss her singing. My cat Sally (who is really her own cat, then in love with Arahsae, then my cat) does a gymnastic routine that ends with Arahsae spinning her around her body like a basketball fake-out. Very lucky to have Arahsae as a friend.
