Years ago I loaned Sarah some tuition money for a college course. She had taken a couple of my classes and we had gotten to be good friends.
Sarah’s a techie and was not only instrumental in convincing me to switch from a PC to a Mac, but also helped me wire together my sound system & ‘home-network’ my condo back when I actually had a place to live.
Sarah may look petite but don’t let that fool you. She wind surfs, sky dives, hang glides, rides motorcycles – and for close to a third of her 27 years was a professional horse jockey on the highly competitive racing circuit.
She’s got the spunk & the adrenaline & the devil-may-care attitude that reminds me all too well of my crazy days in Hot’lanta, back in the 70s!
Last night we met at Harold’s Tiki Bar & Outdoor Restaurant in Naples. What a total surprise when she peeled off three crisp one-hundred dollar bills – and then plopped down a fifty on top of that!
“I owe you some money,” she said. “Let’s spend it!”
We proceeded to do our best to blow that wad on beer & sushi before the night was over!
So, Sarah – we still on the junket for that African safari next year? I’m not too keen on flying so I’ll buy some road maps and meet your there 🙂
Very Cool:))

I think she may have convinced you when she asked, “Why keep banging your head against the wall when you can own a MAC.” Right? One’s got to love her brutal honesty.

Whatever she said, it worked. Ever since then I’ve been very anti-PC!
Thanks…

I would give anything to get my friend back!!! I alway loved how full of life she was, alway pushing me to go out and try something new.

She could be nonstop enthusiasm for the fast life. Although – who knows – maybe that was covering up a deeper depression. At least she had great friends like yourself, Cheryl.
Thanks…

I totally understand what you’re saying. I grew up with Sarah and we went through the same type of pain with family. For someone so tough on the outside, she was so tender on the inside. I am so lucky to have had her in my life.
