Happy Dutch Day

Today is the birthday of my very best friend in the world, and I wanted to take advantage of this most public of fora to wish her the best, the happiest, and the many-est of wonderful returns. We've been friends for a near decade, Dutch and I, ever since we were brought together by folk-rock supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, and our momentous road trip this summer has brought us closer than ever. Only though the 21st century technology of the blogosphere can I approximate how meaningful, unforgettable, and life-affirming our partnership has been, and I'm sure all you blog fans out there await our next step with bated breath. And it's gonna be a big one, Dutch. You're the pony to my dog, and I send you all my love over the internet superhighway.
