T-shirt #214: Gaia Ultimate Gear: Sleeveless WhiteHappy Monday.
Am I too optimistic?
Do I start too many posts with a "happy day" greeting?
I believe in the power of attraction, the power of positive energy.
Today's blog is short on text because I am just featuring photos with captions. Starting the work week and took off most of yesterday, so I did not work ahead as much as I hoped. Still, as my wife has told me, more people would read my blog if the entries were not so long, to which I replied that I had been managing many shorter entries, had she not noticed? :-)
Oh... and how do you like my Smokey the Bear hat?
Today's shirt pairs with T-shirt #208. Both purchased at a very cool ultimate tournament in Lexington, Kentucky that I attended in either 2001 or 2002.
CAVEAT: It occurred to me yesterday while scrolling through Instagram that I have many friends who are fantastic photographers (such as my amazing wife). If you have not figured this fact out by the 214st day, the photography element is not the point of this blog. I could take better pictures, take more care with pictures, spend more time setting up shots, but I do not care as much about the photographs. This blog is devoted to writing. I care about the writing. Even though today features a dearth of writing.

Some shots from the trip both Portland and Hawaii shots. Meeting the Fraziers, who are UBER cool. Then shots from yesterday's restful and lazy Sunday with the puppy.
