Man, do y'all remember where we were at last year?

Dang it feels good to be a Texan tee available here.
Last week, I decided to surprise Houston family and friends with a quick visit. It's amazing how much you can work into a day when you really want to.  My days have been filled with a lot of work and a lot of play and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I've picked up a few new tricks, since the last time I was in Houston. Most recent would be my egg poaching skills (thanks, Pearl!). Maybe I shouldn't call them skills just yet... ability? I'm still tweaking little things, but I enjoy having something new to master and any kind of breakfast food is my favorite. Thursday, Tim, Emma and Brandi were nice enough to test my breakfast. It was a slow morning and I don't think we actually sat down to eat until lunch time.

While we were all lounging in the living room, I was thinking how thankful I was for them and the rest of my friends that were busy at work that day. Somewhere near that thought, Tim says "Man, do y'all remember where we were at last year?" and we all smiled. I've been thinking about this a lot lately. It was one of those crazy years... absolutely one of the most challenging years for everyone in our little crew. A lot of growing pains, random campouts, a lot of laughs, maybe some whiskey, a lot of tears, and finally some breakthroughs. That season has come and gone and this new one is a beautiful wonder. I remember last year, and I'm looking forward with a strong focus. I think we all are.

If you find yourself having one of those days, weeks, months or years where everything is falling apart, just know you are not alone and you are not stuck. Keep focused on what you value and where you want to be. Keep moving. Surround yourself with really good people. There's another season ahead.

Last weekend, my pal Derry texted me to let me know he was playing a show in Houston at Warehouse Live Saturday night. I packed a bag and Hauled myself and Zeyk out of the country and into town. I started the evening with my friend Yvette at an easy going dinner party with wine and good company. As the evening progressed, we let folks know we were going to see Jason Isbell + The 400 Unit and Dawes play. At that moment half the dinner party decided to come with us. I have never seen Warehouse Live packed out and participating so much for the opening act before. The boys absolutely killed it. I just wish their set could have been a little longer. After the show, a few of us hopped around downtown and acted a fool.

Tonight Jason Isbell + The 400 Unit will be playing The Belmont in Austin, Texas. If you are anywhere near Austin, you should probably go check it out :)

Also tonight, Vaden Todd Lewis (Toadies fans?) is playing a sold out show at the Stash factory. I love live music.

What are your plans this weekend? Any shows or events in your area?
