Old Potato Road.

i created a simple blog to keep track of the odd happenings in this unconventional life of mine. Old Potato Road is my favorite road in between Austin and my hometown of Bryan, Texas. at a point in my life when i was figuring out what the hell i was going to do and who the hell i wanted to be i'd pass Old Potato Road and laugh out loud. it reminds me to honor and seek those simple moments that give breath to our crazy lives.

even today, when i drive by after my mom, dad or courtney has graciously scooped me up from the austin airport i anticipate passing Old Potato Road. it reminds me of finding joy in the simple moments of our lives. the sort of simple joy that creates reprieve from the dust of everyday life we sometimes can't shake.

i offer no wisdom. just sharing my life. things that make me laugh. things that make me cry. things that make me, well, me.
THE WASP. I think it’s important to make even the most simple of tasks entertaining.  This approach, however, has gotten me in a pickle or two. Last night I was hanging at my apartment with Jess, cracking up as usual.  We have been trying to make 4th of July plans so we were looking at flights and trains.  Anything to get out of the city!  As we were looking at flights Jess goes, “remember that time you booked my flight to Austin and….” Before she could finish her sentence I erupted in laughter, burying my head in the couch. I booked a bunch of folks flights from NYC to Austin for a party I threw during ACL.  I had totally forgotten that I thought it’d be funny to give people strange middle names on their plane tickets.  Jess went from plain ole Jess Rotter to Jess “The Wasp” Rotter.  Poor Jess had to change her flight but there were, uhh humm, complications with the names matching up!!  Opppzzzzzzzz.
