Hot Girl Walk in Senita

I believe in the hot girl walk. The focus-on-yourself, reflect-in-gratitude, low-impact cardio walk. And there is no place better than Town Lake (Lady Bird Lake) winding through the center of Austin, full of people and dogs to watch. I haven’t ever done a group one though! Enter my fave athletic wear brand: Senita. I’m leading…

Bob

This goofy boy stole my heart on Dec 7, or maybe Dec 6 when I saw his profile online. It was another 10 days before I was allowed to foster this “behavioral issue” dog, and another 9 after that before we sent the “we will adopt him please” email. Today, January 3, 2023, is the…

Austin: 6 Happy Hour Spots to Impress Business Partners

An email I recently sent: There’s a badass, super impressive spot called Kinfolk but it’s tiny, not sure we’d be able to get 10+ in there (think it’s 20 max and we’re late for renting it out) Lutie’s – gorgeous restaurant, a little off the beaten path location-wise Canje – very cool Caribbean restaurant on east Sixth Fonda San…

Couch List | A Version of Checklist 68

Books I have read since 12/26/21: Transcendent Kingdom – great exploration between science and religion; recommend it although I did not it as much as I loved her first novel Homegoing People We Meet on Vacation – a bit predictable but entertaining nonetheless First Comes Love – ditto but also interesting that both this and…

080 Austin Studio Tour Stop

Yeah, it’s me. Saturday & Sunday from 10-6. Here’s the map of the tour. This is the piece Big Medium chose for the art book, and it will live on in infamy … The story around this one is interesting. I had taken a reclaimed canvas I identify with—a light blue with white stars stenciled…

38 Reframes After 37 But Before 38

As I sit down to think about what I want from the coming birthday year, I’m struck by how happy I am right now. How much growth I’ve been through personally in the past year-and-a-half and how much I’ve owned who I am and who I want to be. One of the ways I’ve been…

Checklist 45

Happy Inauguration Day. Appreciating Dr. Mercola’s Perspective on the Covid-19 Vaccine. Entertainment Sacks and the City podcast episode 21 One of the funniest poop stories I have ever heard in my entire life is told on a podcast I love but don’t listen to regularly, U Up? Podcast (~min 35). They also interview James Lafferty, my…

Checklist 31

Some weeks you got it … and some weeks you just don’t. Nonetheless, we persist, and on to the list! Workouts The best coaches in the gayum (duh, deez guys over at Power Athlete) support an organization every year called Wade’s Army, and in turn, I support them every year. Read about the fight against…

Checklist 30

Lest we forget that these lists started as a result of a global lockdown, let this article on the “Patchwork Pandemic” give you great perspective. Workouts Free 30-minute pilates class/challenge for 6 days this week (started Monday, but turns out you’re supposed to do the same class all 6 days anyway?) Details at 100WITHME.COM BFree is…
