To Garland on his Birthday:

Garland has been my rock for the better part of the last decade.  When I reflect on all that I’ve been through, I know that I owe much of who I am and where I am today to his unwavering friendship and support.  Over the last few years I have watched his career grow from the days when his writing had very limited outlets, to the present day where you will find his thoughts and observations on several of the internet’s most well-respected socio-political sites.
