Because 39-year-olds can do whatever they want with their own blogs. It’s hard to describe the feeling of freedom, unmitigated joy, and peaceful ease driving through the mountains brought me. I like a road trip. I drove through boring, brown Texas and flat, long New Mexico until I hit the mountains just south of the…

I spent four days in Miami this week, but really Miramar, and really just inside the office and in the hotel. Ah, the executive life … it looks sexy on the outside but really, it’s intense and hard and AWESOME and decidedly not casual. I tried to walk to the office but luckily some female…
Because I visited three states in as many days last weekend and by noon tomorrow I will be in a fourth, we’re doing yet another feel good whatever day. But I am SO grateful I got to celebrate two wonderful, amazing couples at two weddings this past weekend. I’ve been thinking a lot about weddings,…
The Super Bowl Ski Weekend trip is THE BEST. Finally getting my achilles + new skis + new boots dialed is THE BEST. Getting to see baby Byobi from doggie boot camp is THE BEST. Bob is gonna be THE BEST. Jessica at Blue Moon K9 is THE BEST. Working hard and loving my job…
Remember when this blog was Life in Austin & Aspen? I’m in Aspen again today! This place is so full of magic and wonder, and yet, so different than it was before. The skiing though? As epic as ever. 2023 is off to a fabulous start. The fancy as f@$k! new year’s eve party was…
This week I have been called both a bulldog and a karen, with basically the same meaning but obviously very different connotations.

!Y feliz cumpleanos a mi amiga de la aventura! My last Mexico trip of 2022 brought me to the beautiful if touristy Cabo San Lucas, Mexico … where I got to swim with schools of fish and snorkel with a sea lion! I ate on of the best meals of my life at Manta, which…
“It is a delightful thing, while the great sea rages, to watch from the land another struggling with the waves: not because this is in itself a delight; yet it is a delight to watch calamities from which you feel yourself safe. So to look on a battle from some safe point of view. But nothing is more delightful than, from some serene stronghold of knowledge, to look down upon the wanderings and errors of other men, and their efforts after mere wealth and power, rather than knowledge and a quiet mind.” The first words of the opening of the second book of the Latin poet Lucretius, De Rerum Nalura. We found these words on the wall of a cantina called Tropico 56 in Merida, Mexico, where the driver we hired for the day on the recommendation of a man we met outside of a bathroom who said I look like I spoke English used to be the manager, en…
