  • I’ll bite. Austin, TX circa 2007. Sublet. Moved my (now) wife and one year old into a one bedroom, one bathroom house the size of a shoebox. Cooled by a single window unit, had to steal wifi, and roaches crawled in through the gaps under the doors.

    Ironically, it’s now a fond memory. First place I lived with my new family, it was just for the summer, we had cool neighbors and were like 200 feet from a bunch of really cool local businesses.












  • Not something I did, but someone did for me just yesterday that was very nice.

    I was driving home through rural-ish Texas and had just stopped at a bakery to get some coffee and absentmindedly left it, along with my wife’s favorite water bottle, on the roof of the car when I started to pull out.

    Guy in a pickup across the street pulled into the turn lane and stopped in front of me (not a busy road) rolled down his window and pointed over the roof of his car.

    I was super confused for a moment, but got the picture and was able to pull off again and grab the water bottle. The coffee was KIA.

    Anyway, thanks to that random stranger.
