    2021-11-20 Austin Adventure Day 1, 2, 3, 4, & Done ✅

    I’ll only be in Austin for one more hot minute and while it’s still fresh, here’s the rundown (for posterity)… Day 0: Land at the airport and be briskly whisked away by my Texas bestie who wastes no time heading to our traditional first night dinner spot. The District Kitchen. I depart from my norm…

    2019-09-28 Austin Day 1 – Chillin in 90 Degree Heat

    Yesterday was a very chill day with fam and a mostly normal Friday routine. I’m on holiday but they still have work and kids that go to school and activities to manage. In the morning I had a fair amount of time to walk and think and then when Rebecca hit her stopping point with…

  • 2018-03-31 Austin Day 3: Perfection

    None of my exes live in Texas but now some of my best friends do. Steph moved to Texas about six months ago so now when I visit, we’ll likely be coordinating visits with her too. Still, Texas is big and they live south of Houston so in order to do that, some extra flying…

  • 2018-03-30 Austin Day 2: Changes in Scenery

    I’m now into my second day of enjoying everything this city now offers me. I say “now”, because as we get older, the scenery has changed. I absolutely cherish how things are now. When I’m here, I’m family. We hang around and talk and eat. We go out for delicious meals also full of great…

  • 2018-03-29 Austin Day 1: My Home Away from Home

    I had a good “homecoming” yesterday as I was picked up from the airport and whisked to dinner straight away. It was a nice time at a familiar place and it gave Rebecca and I a few hours, one on one, to catch up. She updated me on her stories and I pretty much went…

  • 2018-03-28 On the Move Again – Austin Bound

    I skipped my morning workout today to make room for last minute, anxiety ridden, travel related stuff. This included checking the weather at my destination and adjusting what was in and out of my bags. I travel light, so I always worry I’m not going to have appropriate things when I land. I’ve learned my…

  • 2017-09-17 Austin: The P.Terry’s Cheeseburger.. 3

    Saturday morning we went to the soccer fields to watch Rebecca’s daughter play her very first soccer game ever. It was hot, and muggy, and the sun felt like it was burning our skin. And that was before it was even 11AM. When it was over, we decided to grab a quick bite to eat…

  • 2017-09-17 Austin Day 4: Sunday Wake Up

    I woke up at 6AM at the conclusion of a dream I was having about a situation of injustice surrounding a child who did not have a voice of their own to defend what was happening to them. I had been trying tirelessly for hours to plead with the people around him or her to…
