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!
