Again, I must thank my friend and agent, Russell Galen, as well as the utterly delightful Ginjer Buchanan and all the great folks at Roc. Otherwise, I’ll keep this one short since all the “usual suspects” know who they are—as do all those who have joined us on this adventure by now, for better or worse! Ha! I would like to throw out a very special thank-you to those who were so steadfast and supportive during a really tough time. They know who they are as well. Adversity does tend to put things in perspective, but it also often reveals the many blessings we take for granted. Since I count my true friends and family among my very greatest blessings, I am a fortunate man indeed. Oh, and for those who crave the usual hint regarding the latest ridiculous thing to “happen” to Jim, propriety must prevail this time. All I can say is that it was, again, wildly—painfully—amusing for most concerned.
