Jimmy, er, Jim since we're not 15 anymore, is my best bud. During everything I've been through over the last 9 years or so, he's always stuck by me... especially in the dark days of the absence of Amanda. He does his best to bring out the kid in me even though it's usually pretty hard to do but he's always trying to get me to go to bars, clubs, etc. Sorry - not my scene. But to quote Tack the Cack, "GET YOU SOME!"

ken and his dad
My dad had a stroke back in 1998. For everything he did for me, the least I can do is take care of him so he doesn't have to live in a nursing home. Things get stressful sometimes but we usually get along amazingly well. He goes to work with me every day and plays security guard.

Becky
Becky
I used to work with Becky down at Minnehans until she went to NYU to study law. A couple summers ago, I used to think Becky was just a stuck up snob... then one night I broke her down. Since then, I've found some very special things in her and she's become one of my most trusted advisors and friends. No matter what I want to talk about, no matter how bad, she's always willing to listen. Along with Jimmy, one of the people responsible for me still being here today.

Michelle
Michelle is my sister. I have a hard time describing her...

Wyatt
wyatt
Wyatt, the king of Spam. Him and I go pretty far back - sometime around 1988. We used to spend quite a bit of time together going to hamfests, doing computer work, etc. These days, he's rather hard to get ahold of but we've managed to find a little time here and there to raise hell.

Shana
Shana and I met in alt.rock-n-roll.metal.metallica. She's my groupie and we often discuss politics and other things that pop up. I drove down to Pennsylvania so we could go to a hockey game and she was even cool enough to buy the tickets. Now I don't watch hockey since the league doesn't have any integrity. I'm debating whether that's Shana's fault.

Stacey
Stacey has been there to listen to me bitch about my life and to help bring me around to being positive again.

Dayna
Dayna is my new student that Shana brought to me... she used to be the managing editor of Oklahoma Business Monthly (in which I've got articles published) but she left to go to China to teach for a year. She's a reforming die-hard democrat.

Rosie
Rosie is my right hand and I'd be lost without her since that special someone is away from me right now. Thank you for always being there Rosie.
