hello friends! i hope this episode finds you happy and healthy in the middle of your summer 2016. i did some summer stuff yesterday. my girlfriend, zuri and i went out to brunch with some friends and went swimming in their gorgeous infinity pool that is on the top of a big hill in lakeway and overlooks austin in the best way possible. we had drinks, chatted, listened to some sweet jams and floated around in the 103 degree weather. pretty sweet right? i'm going to try to continue the mellow pool party summer vibe going until at least august.
