Kayleigh

"Kayleigh" by Marillion is a pretty famous and influential song, considering it completely slipped by me in the 1980s. One of its influences beyond the fact that it's a fine piece of music is that it led to the popularity of the name "Kayleigh." And that actually is important.

Today is the birthday of someone who has been part of my inner circle for over ten years (!!). We've known her as Kabuki Katze, and now she is Wandering Kotka - with a new website coming soon. However, in the end, she's Kayleigh, and she's my friend.

Kayleigh, you have opened a lot of doors for me, both directly and indirectly. Things like BOC and the art are important, but really, they only scratch the surface. I honestly cannot imagine my life now without you and your friendship having been a part of it. It would be a lot poorer, that's for sure.

Ten years? At once, it feels like yesterday and forever. It's been an honor and a privilege to share your journey with you. I hope you, hubby Boyan, and your family have a wonderful day celebrating the anniversary of your birth!!!
