Thanks to those who believed in me when it mattered:
Rip Torn, Geraldine Page, Bill Treusch, Rick Nicita, and Marion Dougherty.
Thanks to all my family, in this world and the next.
And thanks to a lifetime of four-legged friends.
Above all, thanks to Mother and Daddy, Robbie and Ed, and Schuyler, Madison, and Jack, who helped make this extraordinary, ordinary life possible.
