I’m from the long drives to my brothers football game

From the steaming turf burning the rubber off your cleats

From the freezing mornings in a blind for three hours

From the deer on the white walls in my house

From a neighborhood where everybody is friends with everybody

From hanging out with friends

From night prayers and grace

From going to the 11:30 Mass every Sunday

From three dogs

From disliking cats and hamsters

From the big oak tree in my backyard

From the Saint Augustine Grass

From the United States of America

From Texas

From Austin
