Hey Austin, I hear ya on the Texas summer :/ Can’t believe we are already seeing this type of weather! (I am about three and a half hours from Austin, but not quite as humid where we are at, west of you). I may have to try Campari later this summer!

Oh, and I got two Steal books to give as grad gifts, good idea!! A lot of great proverbial wisdom in there :)

My electric car makes a sound too, but it's nowhere near this pleasant. It also does some super-dorky beeping when I'm in reverse 😬

Buy the Book was the name of the bookstore in Ellen DeGeneres’s sitcom!

and, if the mood strikes, i recommend trying a white negroni (for a nice campari alternative):

There's a lot to love here but I had to hop on to mention that I also find such joy in the Gallagher brothers and everything they have to say.
