      For all my friends and family who are still willing to talk to me.

      Mainly for Chandra—after all the years, you still laugh at my jokes. You’re my favorite person to have adventures with, and you smell nice. Really nice.

      Oh—and my dogs. They give me inspiration in their own odd way.
