One of the real joys in life are the periodic visits with friends that are tied at the hip regardless of frequency of physical presence. Judy and Dave Collins epitomize this kind of friendship and though I rarely see them these days the connection is always instant. I stayed with them last night in New York and from the very first second we connect as if we had seen each other yesterday. They are wonderful people and the wonder of their friendship remains one of the treasures of my life.
