Today's "props" goes to a good friend who never lets me down. He consistently bring joy and contentment to my life and I don't know what I'd do without him.
We all have folks like this - those friends we can count on no matter what. They're with us in our dark times and in our celebration. They are there for us in the wee hours of the morning or late at night, when the rest of the world has gone to bed.
This "prop" is for my good friend....Diet Dr. Pepper. 
__________________________
1. He is faithful. I'll be honest. I'm not always the best friend. I can often be seen hanging with Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi or even others like that strange Coke Zero or that wild man, Diet Pepsi Max. But he's always there...waiting for me to return home, to kill the fatted calf, to put a ring on my finger.
2. He really is the MOST like his sugar-filled predecessor. Since going off hard soda a few years ago, real Dr. Pepper has lost it's appeal. It kinda' makes me sick...but when I drink Diet D.P., I'm reminded of all the goodness those 23 flavors bring into my life. Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi are good, but they are their own thing...Diet Dr. Pepper is authentic, he's real and he is worthy of as much love as I can give him.
3. He's rare. From my experience, every restaurant in America has either Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. Very few have Diet Dr. Pepper. He's selective that way. And, oh, the joy that fills my heart to open a menu or talk to a waitress and find that he's made the trek with me - he's back in the kitchen ready for me whenever I call for him.
