Last month when I attended the John Whitman seminar at America’s Best Defense I had a photo taken with John. I posted it to Instagram and tagged him in it. Then I checked out his Instagram account and there I saw that he had this amazing shirt at his dojo that said Strength & Kindness. The message behind the shirt is this, “strength to take care of ourselves and our loved ones; kindness to support others”. I thought that was an amazing sentiment and considered trying to order one through his organization. However, the other day I saw that the new Summer Shirt at ABD was a their version of this shirt and I love it! I bought one for each person in the family including Allison. I talked about it a bit in today’s daily vlog.

While going through more boxes today and moving more of them I came across some of my most prized Transformers figures. My in the box sealed and mint Wheeljack, A couple of Optimus Primes and some G.I. JOE figures. I have two of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime and one is in the box and the other was loose. I took the loose one and added it to the box on my desk so now I have the Optimus Prime that can become Orion Pax, the R.E.D. version Optimus Prime and the Masterpiece one. I was thinking about grabbing my original Optimus, too but that might just make that spot too busy. You can see what else I discovered in the video below.
