| With my brother, Mark, at my bon voyage party in June 2008. |
| A bachelorette party at Stone's Cafe, one of my favorite A'dam hangouts (I'm in green, on the upper right). |
| With friends at The Bottle, another favorite hangout, off Damrak in A'dam. |

| "Don't underestimate this gift of finding a place in the writing world; if you really work at describing creatively on paper the truth as you understand it, as you have experienced it, with the people or material who are in you, who are asking that you help them get written, you will come to a secret place of honor. Being a writer is part of a noble tradition, as is being a musician—the last egalitarian and open associations." —Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird |
