Sweet?  Perhaps. I know that my wife doesn’t like the 3/4 sleeve, and who could blame her.  That kind of sleeve always feels like you should be able to pull it down to proper length. Now, elbow sleeves…  That seems to me that it’d be like having your sleeves rolled up, except without all the [...]

Scandalous?   Perhaps.  But I’m not sure that the color of this shirt is exactly true.  I mean, if her skin tone was a little lighter, perhaps… This reminds me of this weird story from my days at Summer Music Camp.  When I was a college student, I spent some of my summers working as a [...]

When I was a counselor at a summer music camp in Pennsylvania, we all had to have matching color t-shirts.  So did the staff.  One year, the color of the shirt was “Dusty Teal.”  Now, what is the difference between “Teal” and “Dusty Teal”—that I’m not sure.
