Hi everyone. New posts have been a little slow coming lately, as life has been kind of challenging over the last couple of months. Lots of things happening that need to be dealt with, and the end result is that…

Wait, you say? What do you mean by “quitting the business” you ask?

Well, at least for now, I am quitting the t-shirt business. And this means you can get a deal. I’m going to let you rake me over…

Well, another year zipped by. While I managed to be absurdly busy pretty much every minute of every day, it kind of feels like I didn't get much done over the course of the year. Turns out, I actually did…
