Everyone needs a home team, the beings that love and sup-
port you. The people that tell you like it is and listen to your
thoughts about what you think the truth looks like. My team is
amazing and I am indebted to them for their love and loyalty:

and constant teaching that he shares with me every day.viPrelims.qxd 7/11/07 12:45 PM Page vi
