I actually really like this place and want to keep working on it, myself. Happy birthday to the place most people I love live.

Met some neighbors on my walk tonight who said meeting my dog outside of saying hi to her at the fence everyday "felt like meeting a celebrity"

A small Bluetick hound, the celebrity in question

Fun fact: the fiddle solo in "Amarillo by Morning" is the most beautiful recorded music in all of human history (Saw King George tonight and of course I cried during that)

For TWENTY ONE YEARS I've had this sentence stuck in my head: "The analogy to football held up for a few minutes, but after a bit, it was clear that Coach Leach was just . . . talking about pirates." (That entire paragraph is, sincerely, a perfect paragraph)

Each off-season, Leach picks something he is curious about and learns as much as he can about it: Geronimo, Daniel Boone, whales, chimpanzees, grizzly bears, Jackson Pollock. The list goes on, and if you can find the common thread, you are a step ahead of his football players. One year, he studied pirates. When he learned that a pirate ship was a functional democracy; that pirates disciplined themselves; that, loathed by others, they nevertheless found ways to work together, the pirate ship became a metaphor for his football team. Last year, after a loss to Texas A.&M. in overtime, Leach hauled the team into the conference room on Sunday morning and delivered a three-hour lecture on the history of pirates. Leach read from his favorite pirate history, "Under the Black Flag," by David Cordingly (the passages about homosexuality on pirate ships had been crossed out). The analogy to football held up for a few minutes, but after a bit, it was clear that Coach Leach was just . . . talking about pirates. The quarterback Cody Hodges says of his coach: "You learn not to ask questions. If you ask questions, it just goes on longer."

Shoutout to the guy who, walking past me and my dog tonight as she deeply sniffed some plants, said, "Always thinking about it" He's so right, she is always thinking about it

Feeling very loved because so many people showed up to the bar for my birthday tonight, and apparently my neighbors I invited sincerely thought I was a full decade younger than I am, plus my new vintage jacket looked amazing. I'm a lucky girl

I've become friends with the woman who adopted one of Georgia Fry's puppies and it is a delight to learn both my dog and her son truly enjoy having a lil blanket nest (Georgia gets this started herself and then loooooves for me to finish tucking the blanket around her)

Claire, sensibly, doesn't allow QTs but I will always take the opportunity to swoon over heartthrob Quincey Morris The question of who is the greatest fictional Texan of all time has many strong contenders but my man Quincey is a solid one

I am in fact annoyed about grouting! It appears you have to work with gravity so my only idea so far is to grout the edges in sections. If you know a better way, sound off in the comments please
