It’s a rare day that I don’t think about how much I miss my friends and family. Often, I wonder if they miss me.

Twice in the past two weeks Twinkie has let me know how much she misses me. First she sent me an e-mail that included a pictorial list of things that remind her of me.

Then tonight she said “I haven’t thrown up from drinking too much, since you moved away.” I was touched.

I guess the good news is that her liver is thankful that I am gone.
