In my little life, I can walk to the beach, across the street. I can walk to a corner store for something I forgot or a hungover house guest might need, or to one of three excellent restaurants when I’m hungry (Eat Chow ANYtime, Cucina Alessa for fancy, and where would I be without Cappy’s…
Confession: part of the reason I wanted to get a dog was so that I’d always have to exercise. Even if it wasn’t running, I’d need to take the poor thing out for a walk from time to time (then I got a house with a backyard … theory shot … then I moved to…
Since it’s summer, I’ve been walking around totally barefoot. No barefoot shoes. Just toes in the grass, on the dirt, whatever. I took an hour walk with the dawg barefoot. 30 minutes at the park. Being totally, completely, 100% barefoot is AWESOME.

I have a friend who is teeny tiny and not athletic, nor does she enjoy working out–but she has a rockin’ six pack. It’s genetics to some extent, sure, but she also watches her calories and walks for an hour a day. Every single day. I’m not giving up CrossFit (or my rock-hefting version of…

I’m back from D.C. to some rain in the ATX, but it’s supposed to be 80 later this afternoon. I took the Texas weather with me to DC and we enjoyed blue skies and 60-70 degree weather my entire trip–so maybe I just caught it at a good time, but I loved DC. The thing…
I just can’t handle ACL. I went all out last year–open to close, all three days, media tent, afterparties and aftershows–and I think I just burned myself right out. Instead, I will be walking myself to tailgating and the UT game. Trying to drive or cab anywhere south of Enfield this weekend is going to…
It’s a new ‘hood, kids! I’ve been a little MIA lately because of the big move, and I just wanted to let you guys know a few things about moving. 1) I’m in a new neighborhood, within walking distance of Kerbey Lane, SNOW PEA!!!, Central Market, Randall’s, Brick Oven, Flying Tomato, etc. Expect some new…
