@alisoncook Was just thinking the same thing. Distrust is the perfect word.

The sky has that sickly greenish cast I've learned to distrust.

Such a fun piece to write

Here it is, your Moment of Zen

Talking to @hougrandopera’s Richard Bado for @houstoniamag supported a correlation I’ve noticed: the most brilliant & accomplished are usually the most humble & kind, too. Thanks to @EmmaBalter and @DanieljRenfrow1 for letting me write about Bado. houstoniamag.com/arts-and-cultu…

@Brant_Croucher Excellent

Wrote about Rodney Crowell for @TheBGSituation. We live a couple of miles from the house where his parents lived when he was born. Winding through 2nd Ward streets listening to his music got me thinking more about place & how it shapes the people in it. thebluegrasssituation.com/read/from-hear…

@catcouturier Hahaha

It’s that time in every mother’s life where you’ve signed your kid up for something so they can be happy, healthy, well-rounded humans then pray for rain so you don’t actually have to take them to any of the shit you signed them up for.

So grateful to @andrewdansby for this look at what Shawn and I have been up to @BojanglesMusic. The lede is so good it makes me never want to write again. #photo-23461815" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">houstonchronicle.com/lifestyle/hcma…

@Brant_Croucher Until embarrassingly recently, I thought, “Patches. We don’t need no stinking patches!” was an original quote from this excellent film.

When Randy Hines was a consultant living in DC, he missed kolaches. But he didn’t find a way to ship them from Texas. He learned how to bake them. People like Randy make me feel lazy. My latest for @Chron: the heartwarming history of @Kolache_Shoppe. chron.com/food/article/k…

@catcouturier Let’s grow them for her.

Stinks: I really want to get sprayed by a skunk one day so I can take a bath in tomato juice. Catherine: Stinks, you really don’t want that. Your friends wouldn’t want to be near you because you’d stink so bad. Stinks: Can I just take a bath with a bunch of tomatoes then?

Very worth reading this @nytimes op-ed from @KetchSecor a thoughtful call to action for country music in the wake of Nashville’s school shooting (& those across the nation) nytimes.com/2023/04/05/opi…

@Brant_Croucher This morning I prepared for days inside by reading Space City aloud then urging Shawn to extend our walk like possessed Prof. Trelawney

@brittanieshey Called pitches with his FACE

Saw a 4-year-old in a Levon Helm tee yesterday at @HKDMHtown. I said, “Dude, what a shirt!” He smiled as his grandmother grinned, shrugged, and said, “He loves the Band.”

Art deco nods to Mayan pyramids, the headquarters of a daily published 1924-32, the home to 200+ pieces by Texas artists: Houston’s downtown hotels preserve and make history in a city that often razes its past. Had a good time writing this one for @Chron. chron.com/life/travel/ar…

@catcouturier 😂

What food goes best with “my husband left a bathroom door open so my dog ate a bunch of soaps and threw up so I’m not cooking?” Legitimate question. Is it sushi? Tacos?

This is such an entertaining read, whether you’re planning to stuff your face at the rodeo or abstaining altogether.

texans are so scary bc they have a very mild accent so you think they're normal and let your guard down and then you offer them an orange and they say "i've never eaten fruit"

@samantrobus Knew I was forgetting something.

@ECscribbles Is there a vegetarian option?

Here’s to Pioneer Wagon, the Houston rodeo vendor proving nightmares can be *scrumptious.* My latest for @chron: chron.com/food/article/h…
