To my coffee, that dark elixir of inspiration,

Without which, the words would have simply curled up and taken a nap.

May your beans forever be strong and your brews forever hot,

For you are the silent partner in this literary escapade.

To my friends, who either read my drafts or pretended to,

And who provided the perfect blend of encouragement and constructive criticism,

Though mostly just encouragement—

To the dreamers and the schemers,

To the late-night snackers and the early-morning thinkers—

 I hope this book brings you just a smidge of joy,

Or at the very least, a good laugh at my expense.
