INSPIRATIONS AND LOVED ONES

Thanks to all of the folks who made my trip so awesome, including but not limited to: the Sand Point kids; Suzannah; Kathleen; Matt; Eric-at-Jaymi's; Matthew; "Peyote" George; Jenn; Monica; Kyle Twede and his cute little employees; Eric-at-the-Kiana; the Palm Springs guys on the #11; Corey at Evergreen; and about a million Seattle bus drivers, barristas, and passersby who gave me directions without treating me like a tourist. Thank you for restoring my faith in nice and generous and interesting people.

Thanks also to The David Lynch Discussion Board, for taking my "Twin Peaks" fettish seriously, to Danny Lujan and Amber Cooper for non-judgmental psychological counseling, my mom for sitting through my endless babbling, and to Greg McNellie for being fantastic.

Gratitude and love to: Taze Yanick and Tom Robbins, the best damned Washington tour guides on the planet, and two of the closest people to my heart and mind.

This journal is dedicated to Bronwyn Dexter, Ian Templeton, Jaymi Holmes, Jason Barrows, and, as always, Jane R. I love you all, just about boundlessly. Take care of yourselves and each other in my absence, but know I'm never really all that far from you...
