For David Luhn—
In our world, beset by dragons, a poet takes the field. Protected by the gleaming armor of his intellect, and with Henry James as his stalwart ally, he enters the fray with an army of eloquent words and carefully considered thoughts at his command. Whether the battles are won or lost, at night we sit around the telephone campfire listening to his war stories till nearly daybreak. Such is the way of warriors. Such is also the way of friends. Such is not the way to toast marshmallows.
We will always be a part of each other's memories . . . and phone bills.
