Aaaaaand I wrote last Thursday: It is almost certain I will forget to post FGF from Merida, Mexico, where I will be tomorrow on the eponymous Friday, so let’s post on my birthday Thursday, shall we? I’m prepping for a small bday party at my parents’ house, casual wine and pizza I keep saying, but…
9 hours of volleyball! 11 games! And my achilles felt good. Made it to the semi-finals in random-draw tournament. Couldn’t jump as high as I expected sometimes, but otherwise am definitely almost back! My body? Not so good. I physically could not peel myself off of the couch once we got home; it is no…
A very random list compiled over some very weird weeks … Do All The Things Read my baby bro’s obituary for Nali, and sign up for his Three Things email list. Follow the new ig account @DrinkinDinos Buy All The Things! Dying over Tito’s in a Can* … amazing marketing. In a badass boss mode…
Too many fights to fight, too few hours from flight to flight, too many questions about what’s right or right. I love my job, I really do, but right now I need the Wicked Dolphin mojito made with rum from Cape Coral and mint from my front yard to do its work while I don’t…
Mesa Verde. Pagosa Springs. Santa Fe. Maria’s margarita hands down the best marg I’ve ever had, and salsa. Gruet. Tiny towns in Texas where all coffee shops on the map were no longer in business. My five-day reset, refresh road trip to pick up Lady Tabitha White Top, the new-to-me hybrid electric MINI I picked…
Nali’s memorial tonight was more than I ever expected. My family and friends are amazing. It was low key and fun and celebratory and perfect. My friends that couldn’t be here sent the perfect accoutrement: a shirt with her peeping out the pocket, an L-paw-print-N-necklace … I felt so loved. Working through writing an obituary:…
0 sugar. Napa grapes. 4 bottles good for 6 weeks. Remind me why I paused my subscription?! Oh, because having an open box of wine in my fridge is a leeeetle dangerous. But! Also really convenient and really fun for parties, pool hangs, random stop-bys, and … everything, really. Launched during the pandemic (good timing…
Nali is no longer with us. It was the right and absolute hardest decision. I am so, so, so sad. So sad. Tired. Worn out. Find it hard to care about anything. Just sad. Any sound I hear—is that Nali? The first thing I think when I wake up: gotta walk Nali! Making plans in…
A report on the legendary 10,000 kettlebell swing challenge, a month-long, super-simple, brutal set of 20 workouts of 500 kettlebell swings each with one accessory movement and prescribed rest. Week 1: 2,000 swings down First two workouts were with 14kg bell at around 22 mins; third upgrade to 16kg bell at 25 mins and fourth…
I love my team so much… last week two of my newest hires were in town for a photo shoot and they are just as awesome as I expected (granted, I already knew one of them). We had SO much fun taking tons of stock photos and videos, and celebrating one of their birthdays at…
