Dada is sick, Eva goes to work...
Photo-A-Day #1397

I woke up this morning at the exact moment when I should have been rolling into my seat at work. What the heck is happening? My throat was clenched and raw, my nose completely stuffed. I was knocked out in a bad way, so for the 1st time in years I had to call in sick. I then proceeded to go back to bed and sleep for another 4 hours. So I guess you can say I needed the rest.

From the looks of today’s photo I think Eva wanted to take over for me and head into work. Here are a few more photos of Eva and my tie.

I'm done with this tie

I did read in the paper today that my high school sent over 200 students home today with flu-like symptoms. I may have picked up a strain of this last night when I saw everyone at the Distinguished Alumni Awards. It is weird, I don’t usually get sick and I certainly don’t get knocked on my butt like that. Oh well, Eva pulled it together and picked up the slack.

This past Saturday night Allison and I went down to SOTP (Speed of Thought Players) to see a comedy show. There was not comedy show but there was a couple of bands playing. I never did get to put up my photos from that night so I am adding them here now.

Bruschetta at the bar

Allison and I got some Bruschetta while we were hanging around, they may a nice little set of snacks here at SOTP. As you can see I even brought my XShot with me.

At the Bar

I brought my Xshot with me to SOTP and took a few pictures of my self with Allison at the bar.

This band was pretty decent, they did some excellent covers of stone temple pilots, pearl jam and more. They were called NewSonRising

Ten Bills.com T-Shirt Giveaway

54 Comments

About a month ago a company called TenBills.com approached me about their site. The sell $10 T-Shirts. A great price but what really makes them unique is that the T-Shirts are all created by T-Shirt lovers that are passionate about not only T-Shirts but they are art lovers, music lovers and just plain lovers.

This team has decided to create high quality shirts that they would love to wear and they think that others would love to wear them as well. Their online marketing so far is small. When they contacted me they said that they were introducing themselves to me because my blog didn’t specialize in clothing for men. Sure I’ve talked about T-Shirts before and I’ve even made a one myself with Zazzle.

When they contacted me I decided to engage them with a trade. I looked through their catalog of T-shirts and picked out two that I really liked and that I would wear on a regular basis.

Exhausted Evolution of Flight

I then sent an e-mail back asking for those two shirts and some prizes for a contest for my readers. They not only accepted the offer but are supplying me with 12 T-Shirts to give to you. I’ve been receiving e-mails from them since then and a brand new T-Shirt caught my eye so I bought it right away. I love it!

Seize a Memory

Now for the giveaway. The best part is, this is open to ALL my readers. That’s right, everyone regardless of location.
