Thank you to—
the gifted Ingrid MacDonald for the graphic,
Allison Matichuck, Zsuzsi Gartner, Annabel Lyon, Louise Young, Morna McLeod, and Helen Soderholm, who read early drafts and did not mince words,
Denes Devenyi and Michael Wilson, who generously lent me stories that, though recognizable here, are no longer about them,
Patrick Crean, John Metcalf and Jackie Kaiser for their enthusiasm and support,
the Adderson and Sweeney families for everything,
Patrick and Bruce for the love.
