“Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship." -- Gillian Anderson (aka Dana Scully)

Friendships are interesting duels of competing interests and needs which can be mutually helpful and upbuilding. Or not.

I thought BW offers the best visual interpretation for this intertwined friendship/relationship of tree and clinging vine which I recently found in the Everglades.

Reminds me of some complicated personal relationships I've known.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AM3. I am out and probably away from the computer all this week. We are headed to north Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with our son and his wife and her family. I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday has a wonderful day, filled with turkey and gratitude for every blessing. And those who do not, I hope will remember to count their blessings and be thankful. Packing and getting the SUV all set for the drive today; we leave very early Tuesday morning and plan to return sometime Sunday.
