My roommate for the trip was Becky, a firefighter out in the desert. She's only 33, which is why her club nickname is Baby, and she's been with her beloved Carly for about 4 years now - which means that she called home every day while poor Nigel was lucky to hear from my ass every 4-5 days.
I mentioned before that she was a good fit for me, and not just because she's another Gemini. It's because she's a dork. :-)

I lost my good friend Scott Orsan on June 1st, and unbelievably her sense of humor sparked the same sort of gutbusting laughter that Scott and I used to share. So it was healing for me in a way to be around her. I am a lucky woman to have had so many incredible friendships -- Becky is definitely one of those friends and I'm so glad that she was there with me on this amazing journey.
