I replaced all the X-Large t-shirts in my closet with Large. I am surprised just how much better I’ve felt wearing clothes that fit right. I tried different options and ended up ordering 7 colors of the Next Level N6210. They’re cheap as dirt with an “athletic dad-bod” fit.

Do you ever say something and then the gravity of what you just said hits you hard? I was chatting with a coworker preparing for retirement and casually mentioned that I have 30+ years left. 30+ years! What!? That’s a lot of time to make meaningful and good things. That’s the goal.

Added a colophon page. I wrote it in a who, what, when, where, and how format, and I like how it turned out. I haven’t seen others doing it this way. I considered adding a “why” section but decided against it. I’m not sure if the colophon is the right spot for that, but if not, then where?
