I didn't make the greatest first impression on Joy. By itself the manvan was a pretty sweet ride, but after a week long roadtrip with the other guy on a bike who shall remain nameless, it wasn't even pretty ugly. It was ugly ugly. Anyway I don't think I spent any time around her more than once or twice before we were both in Santa Cruz. That's where I was able to get to know Joy other than just through Joe. Sure I can talk about what Joe's like since meeting Joy-I mean they have cute little pet names for eachother and lovey-dovey crap like that-historically very un-Joelike. But now that I've gotten to know Joy it's quite obvious what Joe sees in her. She's very open-minded, but strong in her beliefs. She challenges herself. She respects life-both living things and the act of living. She's notoriously upbeat without being that annoying kind of "perky." Very important to me is that she's always up for a trip to Marianne's. She's a good euchre partner and a great friend, and it's to her credit and my benefit that she didn't let her first impression of me remain the last.

I still don't really understand all this talk about bad first impressions... but, THANK YOU, Brian for being such an incredible best buddy to Joe. You two were meant for each other, too, in some ways. Nicole and I are glad you have each other to do this trip together! Have a great day!
