Great Folks 2003
Dan G -- constant friend, I'd be lost without him plus he no only gets tix to the sold out events but he gets great seats
Paul S -- he took a while to melt but he has one of the warmest hearts
Kava S -- if I could, I would be Pip by day and Kava by night
Dawn G -- steady rock and she ran a marathon
Craig U -- can make me laugh and keep me sane
Heidi F -- thanks for the chocolates and the many years of friendship
Dori G -- if u ever need a beard, she's the one
Danny F -- still friends, I can't believe it and I know he can't
Alan W -- has more heart than people give him credit
Albert W -- ditto
Jason W -- he really stepped up to bat when Dad died
Liz C -- wishing her stardom as big as her sweet little heart
Ed G -- my life coach and surrogate father even before my real father's death
Carrol G -- my biggest cheerleader
Paul H -- across the pond physically but in my heart always. see u in Amsterdam in three weeks
Paul P -- listens to my grief

That concludes Lists 2003. 2004 already looks promising. I am booked through Jan (always good). I leave for Vienna on Monday. I will see my friend Paul H (yet another fag actor) in Amsterdam for a brief holiday.
