All my life I've had one friend who I knew would never let me down. Reliable, honest, charismatic, always willing to listen, completely selfless, he gave and gave and gave and never asked for anything in return. He answered most poetically that unbeatable definition of friendship from Richard Ford's The Sportswriter, a quote I've been known to use in best-man speeches, from a novel so compelling it changed me forever. "What's friendship's realest measure?" asks Frank Bascombe, the divorcee of the title. "I'll tell you. The amount of precious time you'll squander on someone else's calamities."
