I received a request in my email from some guy named Stephen to add me/him as a friend in MySpace.com. I wondered what may have prefaced this invite. So, I went to his MySpace and started scanning the 109 pages of his friends. Then I decided it would be easier to go to Meredith's MySpace and see if he was a friend there. I was certain I was among the first of my daughter's friends. So I started scanning through the pages of Meredith's MySpace. Each page holds 40 friends. I was certain I would be on the first page. Alas, I was not. I paged to the second page, hoping to see my smiling self portrait there...disappointed again. I kept my search going. Finally, on page 5, 5th from the last there was my smiling face. Then I thought about all the times that Meredith solicited the assurance that she was the "favorite." And I thought; "what about me?" Does my first born realize, that on the morning of November 1, 1970, I awoke to what I thought were menstral cramps, to realize that finally I was going to meet the first of my most favorite persons in the whole world? And that some guy named Stephen would take me on this journey, where I find myself on page 5 of 12 in my first born's myspace friends? Before I posted this entry, I went back to my MySpace to be certain of Meredith's position there. Meredith is on page 1. However, she is third in ranking. Kidd Kradick is first. Guy Forsyth is second. This gladdens my heart. Because I know if Kidd Kradick, Guy Forsyth and Meredith Lucio were drowning and I could save only one, it is Meredith that I would save. I also know that if the 194 people who outrank me in Meredith's MySpace were drowning along with me, and Meredith could save only one, that I would be that one she would save.

As far as the one I would save...of Kidd, Guy or you, of course I'd pick you. If Catcher were in the mix though...it'd be a toughy.
