Steve and I drove to Austin on Saturday to celebrate a very big day with one of our closest friends, Chaz. Chaz and I met 13 years ago in Austin. We waited tables together (I sucked - he was awesome and spent a lot of his spare time covering my butt), we graduated from UT together, grew-up together, resented growing-up together, and, most importantly, we've laughed a lot. He also edited my first book and cheered me on when 3 people showed up at one of my first book-signings (and one woman was drunk).

Chaz graduated from the University of Texas Executive MBA program on Saturday. It is a huge accomplishment! Congrats! Go off and conquer the world in a kind, gentle, compassionate, shame-free, environmentally-friendly way!  If there's anyone who can do that - it's you!

Hook 'em Horns!

For more on love and friendship, visit the Shutter Sisters.
