Jan 19 2022 Again
... of the reasons I moved back here from Austin was to make apologies.
My Moral fabric on the subject of theft and ownership were very blurred.
I came back with $600 in a white envelope. It was for the owner of the
The Daily Cafe, Steve Shapiro. While I had worked there I definitely spiked my tip jar, and gave away more than my fair share of free coffee. Petty , but it was still theft, and it was from somebody I called friend.
I approached him one day with the envelope in handAnd gave it to him. He asked what it was for and I explained to him that I had been a thief in his business...
...Steve pushed the envelope back in my hands and gave me a big hug. He said just my admission was good enough and that I could use the money more than him....

Which was true.
