I ran into my old boss yesterday, and he told me he was very proud of me, and that a lot of people would have given up, but I didn’t. I reminded him that there were many times when I wanted to, but I had people who told me to get up and keep moving forward. Including, and especially, him.

Twenty or so years ago, when my internship with the public defender fell through, I more or less accidentally interviewed with his office. He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and cowboy boots. The interview was “Do you drink beer? Do you play golf? Congratulations, you’re hired.“
