?When you stop drinking,

you have to deal with

this marvelous personality

that started you drinking

in the first place.?

?Jimmy Breslin

So I guess for this quote to really make sense you need to substitute ?drinking? with, well, just about anything. CTing, screwing around, schooling, whatever.

Random? Maybe. But so are the people that have made up this paper in the last four years and I feel really lucky that I got to know them.

You all know who you are because I hope I?ve told you face to face.

So thank you:

for the mentoring.

for a co-editor with whom I have been through it all.

for the encouragement.

for the late night booty dances to J. Lo.

for laughing at my stupid stories.

for the hugs and kisses.

for the smiles.

for the animal noises.

for the cookies without nuts.

and most of all for the wonderful friendships and memories which I?ll never forget.
