Y’all the Coronavirus is a marathon. I want to GO. I want to travel, I want to go. on. dates. (I do NOT like the act of dates), I want to go to patios, I want to go the grocery store without worrying about decontamination protocol, I want to gtfo. But, I want to be…
THANK GOODNESS FOR THE OUTSIDE. It’s hot, it’s humid, it’s stormy, it’s clear, who cares, I’m restless and need to be outside! This past week was marked by great outdoor adventures, lots of things I’m grateful for, and some intense career and emotional work that will hopefully lead me to more peace 🙂 Pedernales Falls…
I am restless. I’ve seen memes saying that it’s a very American thing to be bored by being under quarantine this long … is it? Or is it a very American thing to continuously question authority and the efficacy of our government’s policies? I’d like to think it’s the latter. But who really knows what’s…
Today marks a confusing technical end to Austin’s “shelter in place” as decreed by the governor, not the mayor. Like many people in Austin, I don’t think much will change for me, yet. Truth be told, I’m a bit sad to give up the amount of free time I have now to play with new…
Tuesday, my internet went out. For all my technical knowledge I could do nothing except be on hold—chat and phone, through three devices—with customer service for hours.

DID THIS PAST WEEK LAST 100 YEARS (OF SOLITUDE*) OR IS IT JUST ME? How was it only last Friday that we enjoyed a FrontPortraits photo shoot at the MAC**? Did I watch an entire season of Scandal in just three days? Was it really last week in which I read the books I recommended…
Last week I said I wanted to grow all the things, and this past weekend I spent a large amount of my life doing just that—or at least, planting all the things! Should I move on to Square Foot Gardening?? Grateful for: Nali. That pupper is everything awesome in the world. Slackline shenanigans, rock climbing, coffee…
Gratitude in the time of coronavirus… Wednesday night, 11pm, me to me (looking wistfully at the bathtub): a hot bath would feel great right now me to me: it’s too late to take a bath me to me: it’s coronavirus time, there are no rules! me. Grateful for my family, friends, and pup in this…
IN A TIME THAT IS NOT NORMAL. We are in wild times. And yet, my daily life is pretty normal: walk Nali, work remotely maybe in the backyard, work out, work some more in my beloved home office, play with nali, art … A list of my at-home resources is forthcoming, but I agree with…
