    The Importance of Design

    31 Mar 2011 in Art & Fashion

    Frequently, when we are performing at an event, they will give out shirts to all the participants. Out of the hundreds of shirts that I have seen at youth events, there were only a few that I actually liked.

Really, the only person that comes to our house with any regularity is the mail person (sometimes male, sometimes female). The person doesn’t change genders but … oh, you get it. I like to keep things nice so he/she doesn’t have to tromp through 2 feet of snow....
