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.

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.

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

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-…
