Early afternoon: Lunch with one of my all-time favorite girlfriends (ok, ok - she's a woman and she's a friend - what do i call her? I like "girlfriend"). We will laugh and share a lunch with a side order each. Probably something having to do with chicken. We will flirt and criticize each other a la Don Rickles, then laugh some more. I adore her, and cannot imagine my life without girlfriends such as her.
