Initial thumbnail character notes on my four friends and other close acquaintances whom I would mention in my memoir, which I will never write:

Mom: mom-type. wants a new dog. wishes I would shave with anything approaching regularity.
Dad: dad-type. tells five minute stories in thirty minutes. robust knowledge of sun-dials.
Jenya: girlfriend type with cute cheeks. smells good and falls asleep after one drink.
Z**: zen-friend type. sensual and practically perfect in every good way.
Martha: freakishly low calves.
D***: sexy-nurse type who drinks shirley temples with no irony and does everything 42% slower than everyone else.
L***: A surprise knock-out hit of a friend.
R***: sensitive-type , bearded and stubborn; believes that tuna are evil and probably the cause of global warming.
TB: Innocent musician crush-ee. Minor character. One mention. Wait, no...no mentions, but I will listen to him while writing the memoir.
T******: unending fountain of wisdom, some of which is asked for.
