Late at night

Sometimes you have those moments where you realized that lead a great life. Here I am sitting on my couch, a new couch that I bought with my fantastic girlfriend after I moved in, while said girlfriend sleeps on the other side. The kitten, Gracie, is wandering around and my brother just left. Iron and Wine is soothing and calming me. I spent the day tooling around the East Bay with said brother, going to the Mecca of cycling (at least for us), making mixed drinks and in general having a great time.

Just thought I’d say hi, life is great.

Addendum: This is the drink of choice lately. It’s fantastic.
