We want to express our deepest gratitude to our wives, Deo Robbins and Michele Robbins, who have put up with us through thick and thin for forty-six years and nineteen years respectively, and provided us with abundant wisdom, boundless support, and infinite love.

Thank you also to the other members of our family and support team. To Veronica Monet, for the countless ways she has nurtured and encouraged us. To Bodhi and River Robbins, our twins/grandtwins, for teaching us about unconditional love and the power of play. And to Tom Callanan, Elizabeth Hendren, and Megan Saunders for all the ways their love and labor have enriched our lives and literally made this book possible.

Thank you to Lionel Peter Church, Gregg Boggs, Kaia Van Zandt, Candice Csaky, and Brandon Jennings, who did so much infrastructural work to make this possible.
