Such a fun piece to write
I cannot wait for y'all to see this one in print, but here's a sneak peek at @ECscribbles's wonderful piece in @HoustoniaMag about the world travels of @MenilCollection curators, with incredible illustrations by @LarsLeetaru. houstoniamag.com/arts-and-cu…

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.

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/re…
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.

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.

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/opini… – at Nashville, TN
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/articl…

This is such an entertaining read, whether you’re planning to stuff your face at the rodeo or abstaining altogether.
I tasted 27 food items at @RODEOHOUSTON so you don't have to. chron.com/food/article/best-…

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

My first piece for @chron celebrates Yale Street Grill’s 100th birthday. Shawn took me there after we started dating. Then, we took Gus, who built castles out of tabletop coffee creamers. Then, we added Guy, who knocked down the castles.

Schools “can’t enforce masks” but sure did enforce not letting us wear shorts or spaghetti straps.

Two men are sitting outside a coffee shop loudly discussing startup ideas. Nature is healing.

The death penalty is fundamentally a poor person’s issue. Over nearly 40 years of visiting death row facilities across the United States, I have never met a single person with money or resources. Capital punishment means “those without the capital get the punishment.”
