Ta dah! Introducing my 66th pair of Chucks and the only thing the Converse Store had in my size I didn’t already own or was under $25. I thought they were pretty funny. Will I actually write my name on them? Not likely. Rain, sweat and whatever would smear even the toughest Sharpie.
I think this will be a decent interim banner (or header was WordPress calls it) for a couple weeks. Other ideas are brewing in my head but they’ll need more time to come to their proper fruition. Suggestions are always welcome. Anything in particular about 2011 that’s special to you? I personally would like to avoid the 150th anniversary of the Civil War because it’s under attack by Southern Revisionists (aka the current umbrella name for Neo-Segregationists) who keep forgetting that they lost and their defeat was inevitable, no matter how much they talk crap about Abraham Lincoln.
What comes to mind with 2011 for me? The 20th anniversary of Generation X‘s publication. Graduating from high school 25 years ago which dovetails into starting at Marquette, meeting Paul and Helen for the first time. Joining PowerComputing in the Fall of 1996. Lastly, buying my first (and only) house in the Spring of 2001.
