How you doing...............

We are really, really busy these days. Everything is coming to a head. We are doing the back store. As you might remember the contractor tried to kill me so I have Omar and all the Bengali cab drivers in Brooklyn doing the renovation. Plus we are putting the final touches on the Japan order that we have to deliver Monday. Plus the regular work both in the store and on-line.

Best of all our granddaughter came to stay with us for two weeks. So we have to take time to take her out and do fun things. And make the rounds and say hello to all the people in all the stores and restaurants that remember her since she was a tiny baby.

Yesterday I got dressed up in my best gambling shirt and my short shorts as we would be traveling all around Brooklyn. We went to True Value Hardware and Loews and Home Depot. Got lunch at the House of pizza. And then we went to the carousel.

I was too fat to sit on a horsey plus I wasn't up to it so I got to sit on the little wagon thing. The carousel is in a beautiful location in Dumbo between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. It is in Brooklyn Bridge Park which is one of the jewels of New York City.

We walked through the park and enjoyed the fresh sea air on the way to the carousel which you can see in the background. If you ever get to Brooklyn I recommend that you take a minute to go by the park. You can see the Freedom Tower in the background. That was where the Twin Towers used to be.

I might borrow the horsey head. I have a couple of pillows I need to leave it under. Just sayn'

Another Sale at the Hawaiian Shirt Store

Just thought I would let you know that they are giving an additional $20 off any purchases of more than $100 today.

I jump on these sales so it is good to get on their email list to get some bargains.

Oh Shirt!

The new Hawaiian Shirts are in! Fresh from Oahu and the Honolulu Shirt company is a new batch of shirts for the new season.

I am very happy!

Here we have a new favorite Florida style shirt with alligators and killer whales. As well as a simple flowery one for more sedate occasions. You know. Like church.

Here we have two of our favorite recurring motifs. Drunken parrots and tropical drinks. They just go together.

These are my two favorites. You have already seen the Florida one. But the gambling one is way cool. it has cards and a drink and dice and chips. But best of all it has a stubby cigar sitting on an ashtray that looks like a penis. Right on your nipple. Makes a statement you know what I mean?

Of course the wife is a fashionista and asked me what was I thinking? I told her "Hey they were originally $100 but they were on sale for $19.99 Why would they do that?" She said "I think I know."

I don't care. I like them. They are officially in the rotation.

It new Hawaiian shirt time!

This time it serious.

Drunken parrots in margarita glasses. Pissed the wife off royally.

But she was still nice enough to make up an instagram photo for me.

I order more shirts

Because you can never have enough Hawaiian shirts. Here are two of the them from the knucklehead collection. The wife put these on instagram as Jim's shirt of the day. You which one people loved? The fucking turtle shirt!

Some fashion mo from Brazil loved it and he has over 100,000 followers. He loved the "regular guy" look. I can just imagine 100,000 dudes wearing turtle Hawaiian shirts and speedos at the beach. That's right girls. Speedos.

I was busy as usual........

Today was a very busy day so I didn't have a lot of time to post. I was busy getting my shirts cleaned. Oh and cooking.

I didn't make any elaborate Revolutionary War Catsup recipes like Palladian....it was just a simple eggplant lasagna.  I am trying to cook healthy so we can feel better and lose a few pounds. But that takes time and effort.
