Props to the Dear Friend & Conscience

I don't want the contributions of the Dear Friend and Conscience to get lost in all of my New Year's pontificating.

While I can pretty much hold my own as a blogger, the DF&C -- whose world view if anything is more acute than my own -- has been invaluable in repeatedly challenging me to move beyond the predictable and the mundane in the past year.

The DF&C's thoughts and indomitable spirit are all over the post above, and her presence will be very much a part of Kiko's House in 2008.
