To Jen-Jen and Katinka and the infamous sangria-filled BBQ singing The Golden Girls theme song. Sorry, neighbors!
Lastly, I’d like to thank my Nunnie, who not only decided I would be a writer when I was a little girl, but also introduced me to many things I probably shouldn’t have been watching at an early age. Thank you for the introduction to Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia. You were right, they were ahead of their time. And I treasure those Saturday night sleepovers laughing at the TV. I miss you!
