About This Blog

This is the blog of Sophie Shepherd and Nick Hiller. After 6 years in New York, we packed up our little Brooklyn apartment and drove slowly west, ending up in Austin, TX.  This blog is to chronicle our move and to give us a way to update our family and friends on our new life in Austin.

A box addressed to me (Sophie) arrived on our porch this morning, and these two engraved beer boots were inside - one with N on top, and the other with S. No note, no return address, no nothin'. Generally it's safe to give credit of any anonymous gifts to my mother, but after calling both her and my dad, it's still a mystery.

We have gone over all of the possible gift-givers... could it be Molly for thanking us for letting her stay last month? Or Nick's Aunt for thanking us for helping with family stuff? Or our landlord because we are helping her brew some beer? Maybe an early Christmas gift from another family member?

The problem is that we feel presumptuous and weird asking anyone if they are the gift givers. We don't want anyone to feel inferior when they answer "No, I did not buy you those awesome glasses. Should I have?"

So, dear beer-boot-buyer, if you are reading this, please show your face so that we can give you proper thank you. We love them.

Believe me, there's a lot of stuff that goes unrewarded in a lot of professions- not just the media.
