Comfort Zone
~Shared by Dianna Arnspiger~
I knew Chip from my days at BGP. He was always doing business/great friends with my boss, and whenever he’d call we’d talk and joke for 20 minutes before he’d get down to business. We shared the same sarcastic, sometimes evil humor and by the time we were done faux insulting each other, it was almost embarrassing. In the last five years or so, we started talking again – can’t recall exactly how that started but it was such a joy for me. We’d go months with no contact and then talk maybe three times in the same week. What we had in common was our love of our kids. He was so smart and inquisitive and we both really enjoyed just shooting the breeze. Twenty years ago, I had told him a story about a friend telling me that his ‘comfort zone’ was challenged and Chip never forgot it after all that time. Every time he called he would start with “how’s your comfort zone?”. I miss him so much and always will. Much love to his family and loved ones.
