Tonight I donned spandex and a leather jacket.
Tonight I had long, flowing black hair.
Tonight I snarled for the camera.
Tonight I flirted with women I had no hope or intention of ever going further than flirting with.
Tonight I sang along with songs by the Commitments.
Tonight I drank to Cacomixl's good health and birthday.
Tonight I saw Cindi Lauper incarnate.
Tonight I was told why Boise, Idaho is a good place to visit.
Tonight I learned that the hiking trail at Yamnuska is a busy place.
Tonight I purposely drank beer that had been in someone else's mouth.
Tonight I worked very, very hard to be a good listener.
Tonight I pulled from reserves of energy that I had forgotten were there.

I am grateful for my friends.
