T-shirt tales? Because every t-shirt tells a story, don't it.
And I have so very many of them. Shirts. And stories. ---- Whaaaaat??
SUMMARY: Revisiting a friend's story
SORRY--I posted this and then took it down again because I had a lot more to add. Now it's back.
A woman I met through agility decided to run the Iditarod one year (years after ceasing dog agility). She did. She completed the whole thing, and did not come in last. An impressive effort. I already wrote about it in this prior post, "Goals and the Iditarod", back in 2008.
The picture is her and her team, practicing around the rim of Crater Lake.
Good t-shirts are always worth getting out and doing things in, sooooo-- |
| The shirt apparently enjoyed hiking with the Merle Girls. Gathering for a hike with the local Sierra Singles group of the Sierra Club. Oct 2008. |
 |
| The inspirational shirt makes it to the top of our local Coyote Peak with the Merle Girls. August, 2009. |
 |
| The shirt helps with my note-taking at our photo club's macro workshop. August 2012. |

The lovely shirt appears again, at the old Douglas Memorial Bridge across the Klamath River near Oregon. This old bridge washed away in a massive flood in 1964 after the heaviest rain ever recorded in the area. They kept the approach to the bridge and the original bears to remember it by. May 2018. |
 |
| The new Douglas Memorial Bridge is about half a mile upriver, with newer, fancier, goldier California Golden Bears. |
 |
| That same morning, in my hotel in Eureka (CA), I found myself in a selfie mood. |
 |
| Who says Zoom work meetings can't be fun? The Iditarod shirt makes another appearance. June 2020. |

Sometimes I see myself in the same shirts in photos spanning a decade and I think I really need to go shopping more often. But the reality is I won't, because the shirts have such great memories attached.
ReplyDeleteYes, just like that! And, really, I have so many that they'll never wear out because I don't wear any given one all that often.
