My friends!
Yesterday morning I heard my son’s favorite song from Stephen Sondheim‘s Sweeney Todd — “My Friends.”
My friends, a month from now I’ll be seeing Sweeney Todd at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with my son and my ex-sister-in-law (who’s been my friend since the early 80s). I’ve seen Sweeney Todd so many times (I appeared in a local production of it, too), that musical is like an old friend.
My office whiteboard — which I use in my work as a psychotherapist — also seems like an old friend to me (and I hope it seems that way to others).
Yesterday, after I decided on today’s title, I asked who would like to be included in today’s post.
Here are those who said “yes” to being my friends.
My friends! Because the friends in “My Friends” are the razors of a Victorian barber, I think the following song might be more fitting for my friends in this post:
My friend Bette Midler knows that we’ve got to have friends, and so do I.
Today I get to see several of those friends pictured above, plus my friendly cardiologist, Dr. Deeb Salem.
What do my friends at WordPress think about all this?
My friends, it’s time I thank all my friends, including you!
“Oh . We get by with a little help from our friends….(pass on getting high with them)
Do we need anybody?
We just need someone to love.”
Lots of friends on your post today. Making like nice.
It’s nice to see you here, Ruth!

I like looking here and finding you, my friend!

If you say so, friend Mark.
Great picture of our friend but tell me, how do you post a picture into a comment??
It’s tricky, Diana! You need to access comments from WP administration, and then press the “img” button, which lets you insert the URL for a photo within the comment. I can’t believe I figured out how to do it, my friend. <3 <3
Ohhh I might have to try that!
Great reminder of a fantastic visit, Ann. 🙂
Very true, my friend.
It is so interesting… blogging friends get to know each other in a way that can take many years in real life relationships. Thanks, Ann. ☺

Fabulous friends, Maria!
Ann friends are more precious than silver, more costly than gold. <3

More wisdom from my friend, Diana! <3 <3 xoxo
Thank you for sharing your lovely friends! I was especially thrilled listening to all of the songs about friends! Friends are so very important!
Thank you for this lovely, friendly comment!
Pictures can convey so much…
It’s true, my friend.
Thanks, Mate
Back at you, friend.
