On the night of July 4th, I drove 30 minutes to a ranch somewhere between Marfa and Fort Davis, TX, all while staring at two West Texas agate bracelets I had made by Paul at Moonlight Gemstones for my friends' wedding. I was listening to - no, rather blasting - John Coltrane's "My Favorite Things" on Marfa Public Radio while eating Ak-Mak from a box on the passenger side seat. That moment, needless to say, has stuck with me for the last couple of days, though I suppose whenever I get back from Texas I have AGATE on my mind. Have a quick read here about where that handsome rock gets its name and how it's formed.And that's all for my recent trip to Texas on this rag. Until next time...Watch: John Coltrane - My Favorite Things
