I need to confess: I saw Top Gun Maverick for the third time on Father’s Day. I loved it as much as I did the first two times. I also love sharing it with my dad, again, and my first-time-father-brother! Like so many of Nali’s weeks lately, this one was up and down. We’re on…
Because an actual person or bot named Tom Ford has compiled a completely wrong article on my net worth and occupation? Very pleased. I love Nali so much. This week, she pooped a runny volume of poop so massive on a rug that I had to throw it away in an abandoned dumpster. But I…
Dammit Fridays get away from me, don’t they? This work week has been wild. The things I’ve seen/heard/witnessed this week … let’s just say I cannot be happier that it’s the weekend, coming off my second night in a row where I promise myself I have to be done working before it’s dark (also mainly…
After an absolutely soul-crushing work week last week, this week has welcomingly slowed down as many of my colleagues are on spring break with their kids. The much-needed breathing room allowed me to catch up on some things that needed doing, and I’m so grateful for that extra time. Now just imagine if I needed…

Grateful for a Friday night “one drink” with new friends until 2am Grateful for pickup flag football, even on no sleep still makes me incredibly happy Grateful for…
Celebrating my dad, the best dad, at Treaty Oak was a perfect Sunday! Sushi happy hour… Getting to know friends better. Letting people love me for who I am. For my dichotomies. As my champions. Embracing too much rejection. Playing Level 3 volleyball. Vanushing. Biking. Nali has sarcoma. It’s old lady cancer and there’s nothing…
The west Texas elopment was perfect. Every breakfast at Aster Marfa was perfect. Meeting Rice alum Roberto leading us to Garza Marfa for his Mimi y Roberto pottery was perfect. The family Sunday celebration brunch-into-hangout was also perfect. Sunday night cheese-and-wine catchup was perfect. My workouts this week were perfect. I hit 4 lifting days,…
Does it feel like I’ve been skimping on the FGFs recently? Maybe. But today, I have a good excuse. I am in west Texas ministering/best manning/maid of honoring my brother and now-sister-in-law’s wedding at this gorgeous chapel. More to come. Just know that I am exceptionally grateful for this compound, this family.
Last year, I worked with my dad on a book. It was a ton of fun, and the book is really good. Here’s a note from him about it; you can order a copy here. When preparing this book for publication … my son (Jordan) jokingly said to me … “Dad … so you’re coming…
