  Things at work were looking up. Again I was promoted, this time to a newly created position at our bank. I was put in charge of Internet Banking. The Board Members of the bank were very wary of the risks, so we essentially got a bare boned product, in which all transactions would end…

  A friend of mine from NY, Carl was passing through town. Actually, he was Deana’s boyfriend, or had been. I forget whether they were still dating. Anyway the night he was coming in, Lori and I were supposed to attend a wedding.   For months Lori and I were ‘just frien...

   My first trip back to New York to visit was over the summer.  Lori was coming with me. It was going to be her first trip to New York, so she was excited.  Eric and Heather also planned their trip to New York at the same time. That way Eric and Lori could spend…

  The best part of going down to Austin for New Year’s was that I wouldn’t just be seeing Eric. Alan was driving down from New York and Denver, tagged along. Deana was going to fly in.   I drove through the night and about 3:00 AM I got to a small town in New…

  Naturally, the money issue caused tension between Chrissy and me and our living situation. I had given her the larger bedroom with her own bathroom (she needed it with her huge bed). I didn’t want either of us to use ‘Snout’ because I didn’t want any further damage ...

   Over the next few months I didn’t do anything extravagant while trying to save money for the move. Chrissy decided to move out of her apartment and sleep on Deana’s couch to save money, so most of her possessions were put into storage.   My brother stopped working at...

   I tried really hard not to let myself get attached to Chrissy again like last time, but I did a horrible job at it. I wanted to be around her all the time and she was the type of girl that craved independence. She was also very impulsive. That may have been what attracted…

 Every so often, Jay’s band, Clocktower, would play at a local bar called C.J. Bond’s. There was never a really big turnout, except for maybe their Halloween show. But this was in the spring. Pat, one of Jay’s friend’s that used to be in their band when it was called ...

  One evening, a bunch of us went bowling. For the most part, an uneventful evening, but something funny happened as we were leaving… Paul asked me if I wanted to go to a bar. Paul didn’t drink and he didn’t go to bars. Not unless Jay’s band was playing. I took the b...
