So I have decided to be a poseur (again) and follow Anney's lead (again) by starting this 30 day blog thing. The one thing I will be doing different is picking which number I will do, meaning I will not necessarily follow any given order. But for today I will begin and the beginning by writing about my best friend.

My best friend.

How do I write about this? What is the definition of a best friend? If a best friend is someone I keep in contact with and talk with on a daily basis that I only have one best friend and that is, big surprise, my wife Marianneke van Hiel Summerfield.

However, if you define best friend as someone you get along with and can hang out with whenever and wherever you happen to be then that person would be Bob Duvall. I haven't seen him in about eight years, but I know that when I do see him in the future we will pick up exactly where we left off.
Well maybe not exactly...

If you define best friend as someone you can talk to about anything and who can empathize with you on certain things, then that person would be Mark Davey, my partner in fun at Crestmont. When I needed someone who wasn't afraid to stand up against injustice and stupid things I could always count on Mark to stand with me in brotherhood - even against our wives. In a good way.

If you define best friend as 'Man's best friend' then there is on puppy in particular:

Jasper Fforde Summerfield

All four of these people I would consider to be my best friends, but there are more as well: my brother Clark and Phoenix friend Oniel to name two.
