We should’ve had our picture taken for this post! Drat! Never mind, I was thrilled to have a last-minute, surprise visit from my friend Christina! We go back to the days of Dynamic Graphics in the early Nineties. Since she’s trilingual (Spanish and French), we became quick friends and would have lunch together a couple times a month. When I quit to move to Austin, we’ve stayed in touch.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to have a brief dinner, catch up (Christina actually reads my site!) and whatever. She was in town for a convention related to her career as a recruiter and practically every second was booked. Sadly, Christina didn’t get the chance to see much more of Austin beyond downtown which isn’t a very accurate assessment of my adopted home. There’s always next time and given our 25-year friendship, I’ll grab any chance to hang out with her when I can.
