I initially was introduced to Christopher at the Big Bar on 2, so this makes him an anomoly among my friends in that I met him in person before I ever saw him online. :) He was there with his charming wife, Tanith (She of the Uber-Cool Name), getting drinks for her and others and generally being funny and charming. He was talking with Adam Jury, who introduced me to this cool, funny, really intelligent guy who went out of his way to make sure everyone around him was as comfortable as possible. I was feeling rather overwhelmed by my surroundings, so I stuck around for a while despite the fact that I didn't say much of anything most of the time. He never failed to notice me or try to include me in conversation, and he was always incredibly gracious. I liked him at once.

Of course, it helps that he's an amazing writer. And that we're evidently related somewhere back in the mists of time, or Scotland, or both (my grandmother's maiden name was McGlothlin, same spelling and all). But mostly he's just so damn funny, and caring, and smart that it's impossible not to enjoy his company and look forward to seeing him again. He is the most loyal person it has ever been my good fortune to meet and befriend. He never fails to let me know he shares my joys and sorrows, to comfort me when I'm down, to let me know he's thinking of me and wishing me well. He even wrote me up in a Mutants and Masterminds book, so now I know I've arrived in the industry at last. *grin* He is wise, thoughtful, and just amazingly good. I'm especially fortunate to count him as a friend.

Thank you, Christopher. Your friendship is one I will always cherish. May God hold you in the palm of His hand for all your days.
