Jessica Trimble and I have been close friends for years. We've laughed and suffered together through so much. From a fantastically disastrous cross-country road trip to numerous agonizing theater productions, we've endured many incidents of weirdness and pee-your-pants-giggling fun.
But could anything prepare her for the grand master of silliness, Cooper Kingsley?
They got along famously. Cooper enjoyed the, "Touch My Nose and Make a Sound Game," that Jess played with him. They made up goofy songs together. She babysat him. They went for a walk in the park. He made a humungoid poop for her. T'was love, indeed.
Seeing them play together made me think about all the East Coast people in my life. I used to want them close for selfish reasons, so we could hang out and have martinis and joke about our futures. Now, I wish they were here for my kid. I want those folks to be in Cooper's life. 
The day after she left on a jet plane, a package arrived from Jessica for Cooper. It was a Fisher Price Crib Aquarium. It plays soft, sweet music, while colorful fish flutter along and lights twinkle and bubbles float by. It's freakin' adorable.
Cooper loves it. He's fallen asleep to it the last couple of nights.
Thank you, Jess. I wish you lived next door. My family feels the same way.
Cooper, Meet Jessica. Jessica, Meet Cooper.

I wish I lived there too! I've missed you since about 5 minutes before I left. But I'm so glad I got to meet your sweet sweet boy. And I'm psyched that the fisher price aquarium is having the appropriate hypnotic effect.
We wish that the Whites lived here! I could keep Cooper all day on Thursdays and Fridays.
We wish Grannemarie and Grandpa Joe lived here, too! We would spend weekends with them like the good old days.
The Tagues are on a campaign to start a Charbonneau Colony in NC where we will find work and fun for everyone.
I hope Grannemarie and Grandpa Joe are including Asheville, NC in their Monster Job search.
My fantasy includes a dream job for Nikki at the NC School of the Arts. Jakob would start his own company doing what he does with work ethics videos. Dell, Sara Lee & Hanes, RJ Reynolds would be some of his big clients.
Business is so good that the Mighty McPilgrims come to NC for the opportunity to work with Jakob.
Jakob's start up company is such a success that it becomes a major studio and together you produce your own original work. The debut at Caan makes you all industry legends.....
...It could happen.
Jealous of Jessica,
You know who
