We Need Another Thou for Smile Train
December 29, 2010
To reach $50,000 raised this year, which covers 200 surgeries. I know that seems like a greedy amount, but if it were your child, you’d pay $200K to have the mouth fixed, and you know, Smile Train does it for $250. The tweed bags are due in March, late March, and if you haven’t ordered one…well, if you wait till they’re in they may be gone. Probably...

It's Not Too Late:
December 18, 2010
To get it by Christmas. To make sure it happens, we are offering 2-Day Air for the price of 3 day ($15) for all regular packages sent out on Monday and Tuesday.

A recreational ride, for example. The normal ways to cut time —- I’m not saying they work —- are: Lighter bike lighter wheels more aero wheels aero...

Untitled Dec 10, 2010
We got some yellowy warm orangish wool tops in today. They’re double-knit crew neck longsleevers from Australia, and sort of hit the crosshairs of warmth and visibility. I don’t know of any other orange wool out there. Orange and wool often don’t go together. It’s a light orange, and pops.
We are working on more Derby Tweed tops, like we had before, like everybody who has them likes and wants...
