Dedication

To everyone who’s out there giving it the old camper’s try — courage!

Author’s Acknowledgments

Writing is hard, lonely work, which is why this section is so often over the top

in sentiment. People who were there when you were going through the labor,

saw you sweaty and cranky, and still stuck by you are much to be valued, and

this group certainly qualifies.

Tami Booth was the midwife, if ever there was one. From moment one, she

stayed the course, even with elements that seemed part of a cruel joke.

Kathy Welton backed the project, even if it meant taking on the gods of con-

formity and wrestling them to the ground. Tracy Barr kept the work feasible

when the effort was literally dissolving before everyone’s horrified eyes, and I

thank her husband and babies for sharing her with me for weeks of phone

calls and faxes and really dedicated work. Mary Hogan slapped life into a pro-

ject that seemed oxygen-deprived and calmed me with her willingness to help

and set limits. Kevin Thornton rode in on his trusty white horse to shepherd

the project to the final glory.

The revision team included another Tracy as well as Kristin, Alissa, Trish —

thanks unto them and Odaliz Rivera, who made sense of everybody’s

scratches.

I also want to thank all my callers who’ve shared their tales of woe or wonder;

friends and family members (you know who you are) who’ve called at 2 a.m. to

cry or celebrate; and certainly all the guys who’ve made me part of the great

dating experience.

If you see yourself in this book, think kindly of both of us, because, after all,

when it comes to dating, we’re all dummies.
