This week I had lunch with the friend and all-around awesome person who brought me back to Apple in 1997, Kris! She was kind enough to come on down to Austin from her new digs way up north to have lunch. It was also a late birthday celebration for Kris.
We talked about what we’ve been up to. How marriage hasn’t changed our lives as much as other people say it does. Got the basics about Kris’ daughter Kelly and her stepdaughter Megan/Dylan. Best of all, we discussed Vegas. Kris is the luckiest person I know, especially when you get her on the casino floor!
I hope to see/communicate with Kris more because she is in the same pool of friends I will always owe my current happiness to. Without Kris, getting back to Austin and adjusting could’ve been more perilous. My original hare-brained plan was to share an apartment and eek by at a movie theater job. Through her, I got an interview with Apple to be a well-paid temp which then led to my 18-year stretch I recently celebrated.
