- My puppy dawg, my lil buddy, my constant companion … and morning and evening walks on the beach with her, especially when nali poop dances come into play or when she sits down and refuses to leave
- Poison ivy bonding with my fbgf4lyfe
- reconnection … a wine night and finally trying the Cassidy’s grilled cheese (not as good as the burger is reported to be)
- the best cheese plate I’ve ever made, for my coworker going away happy hour
- “you’re such a guy” followed by “wanna go throw the football around?” #twoshoes
- my last unstructured newps weekend, featuring an impromptu night out with one of my oldest friends, a beach stroll with my aunt and uncle, a game of basketball, a bike cruise into a bar night ending at laventina’s (so newport), and a lazy sunday
- the anticipation of this weekend’s trip to Paso!
I am also grateful to know this wonderfully talented writer, who penned this must-read Memorial Day essay: “The Last True War Story I’ll Ever Tell”.
