Everything I write is for Diane. Everything I write is for my family. I have to give an extra shout-out in this one, though, to Tom Doherty and Mary Kirchoff. Thank you both for helping facilitate this return to my beloved Corona. It's been a wonderful journey. But mostly, this one's for you, Julian. I found out about you as I hit the home stretch in writing The Bear. After so many years and so many books, sometimes it's hard to look ahead and remember that there's plenty of road yet to travel. You reminded me of exactly that, and turned my eyes to the road ahead, with great anticipation. Pops loves you.
