How to Buy a Man’s Suit

I don’t post so much on men’s fashion because it’s sort of boring. And the Vermonster is frankly uninterested. My brother still wears his Ghanaan caftan thing on stage when he performs.

Filthy Fifty

I’ve only attempted the Filthy Fifty one other time, and didn’t finish before our 30-minute cutoff. Today, after FIVE hours of skiing (on the blues, of course, Lisa!) I said to That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM): “If it’s a long metcon, I’m not doing it,” … because I’m going to drive the 25 minutes to…
