a mermorial day as american as they come … boat, lakehouse, cliff house on lake, pool party … and as i sipped rosé from one of the two bars at a lake austin house that i’m 99% sure my family could have bought in the early 2000s, i really, really wanted to know if we…

Fo Real Feel Good Friday 052722
A long weekend stretches before us, with boats and lakehouses and pool parties looming like the Texas sun—that is, coming in hot and slightly terrifying with its intensity. I was so excited. But today is just not a good day. Nali isn’t doing well. I’m not doing well. I spent the morning cleaning up poop…
Maybe This is the New FGF? | Mucho Gratitude Every Day 052422
Always with the best of intentions on a Friday … possibly mainly because I wanted to BRAG that I got to RUN a 10-minute mile at 75% bodyweight in the alter-g treadmill!! I am making so much achilles progress, baby!! And then with the Monday … AND HERE WE ARE ON TUESDAY. Which is really…
Feel Good Monday is Better than Noneday | Feel Good Friday 051622
Because I’m a little grumpy this morning, trying to figure out how NOT to live in a state of constant stress, fit in all the things I want to do, and nurture relationships that are all important to me. Easy like Monday morning, right? So that’s what gratitude lists are for, and it doesn’t matter…
Um, Have I Made It? Faux Celeb Indeed! | Feel Good Friday 050622 +
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…
From Sayulita to SKO, from Fasting to BOX JUMPS | Feel Good Friday 042822
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…
Feel Good Good Friday 041522
“You’ve got a swagger you didn’t have before …” one of my football teammates said to me when I showed up to cheer them on. Maybe I do. Despite my frustrations with my achilles—yes, teammate is right, I am ahead of schedule but I am still SO FAR from playing—I am doing SO well. People…
The Sun is Shining | Feel Good Friday 040822
It is gorgeous outside. I am going there as soon as I finish typing this gratitude list. I might make this list shorter than I intended to in order to get there faster. I got to ride my bike! 20 mins, easy peasy, but thrilling: the air on my skin! The wind in my hair!…
Flight Change | Feel Good Friday 032522
Lil Nali gave us quite a scare, so much so that I flew home early from a work conference and spent a bunch of hours in her closet, so many, in fact, that I’m pretty sure I annoyed her and she got up and left her own safe space … whoops. I’m grateful it was…
Spring Break | Feel Good Friday 031822
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…
