I was telling Dad about a situation I'm in, and he reminded me that I have all the tools to deal with it, because, "You've gotten a lot of t-shirts. Earned 'em."

This is one of my favorite nuggets of wisdom my dad doles out. He refers to Life's Lessons as "T-Shirts." Ya know how when you go on vacation and you get a Hard Rock Cafe or Disney t-shirt, or you've been through something, you have "been there, done that, got the t-shirt"? This is much the same principle. Think of the t-shirts you have collected.

Here, I'll go first: I have a few cross-country moves under my belt. And that's okay. I like to drive, and I like to listen to my own mix tapes while I do it. Some t-shirts I even got for FREEE, with call letters and logos on them! Woohoo! Free T-SHIRTS everybody!

When Trav moved out, he left some of his NDSU shirts in his closet, and tomorrow just happens to be "wear your school colors" day at The Scooter Store, so I'm gonna go shoppin' among his t-shirts...
