There’s this show that MTV made about Austin in 1997 called “The Austin Stories” and there were only 12 episodes - they are on YouTube. Hilarious. Plus it’s fun to see Austin from back in the day.

I enjoyed binging it so much I watched Slacker right after. I may or may not be teetering in the edge of nostalgia.

Started the day with a glorious fucking swim in Barton Springs Pool.

Like, SENSATIONAL.

Now I’m testing myself to lunch and a movie at Alamo Drafthouse.

Life is good, y’all. I mean it. Being alive rocks.

As a passionate thrifter, this is the dream - to find some priceless artifact just lying around in the heaps of junk.

I have returned from gallivanting across the central Texas countryside, reveling in the extraordinary sight that is wildflower season. Todays expedition was to Inks Lake State Park. It was possibly the most dazzling hike I’ve taken in #Texas.

Oh. Mah. Gah.

Regardless of the word “chicken” in the name, it combines three of guys’ favorite food groups: steak, deep fried batter, and gravy.

This is also the best chicken fried steak I‘be ever eaten. And that’s not just the whiskey menu talking.

A++.

Update on my front garden - I’ve planted roses, jasmine, calla lilies, and columbine.

I’m new to gardening so this is all very exciting.

Went for a hike with my old man today at McKinney Falls State Park. It was sunny, in the upper 70s with a constant breeze. Wildflowers are popping. What a joy!
