Cat-Like Reflexes

By Jimmy Johnson


Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
I said I would come in today, on Saturday, to tell you a little more about the A&J T shirts that will be available soon, and so I have. To make things easier for all, you can go here for detailed information about the short-sleeve shirts and go here for information about the long-sleeve shirts. The official Gildan Web site will give you the technical details about the shirts, as well as the colors. (Remember, the short-sleeve shirts are available in Carolina blue, charcoal, military green, natural and sport gray, and the long-sleeve shirts are available in black, gold, light pink, red and sand.) There also is a size chart available. The handsome young men are not included.

I thought I would give you my general impressions of our product. These are Gildan’s “Ultra Cotton” line, the best they offer. They are 6-ounce cotton shirts, about the heaviest basic T generally available. All are from 100% American-grown cotton, except the “sport gray” version which, for some reason, is 10% polyester. However, I’ve seen it and felt it; it’s a good shirt. I have worn these shirts around for several weeks and washed them—of course. These shirts fit. When I say that, I mean they are neither clingy nor baggy. I wear a large T shirt normally, and the large Gildan is comfortable. Maybe I shouldn’t encourage you to purchase the wrong size shirt, but if you like your shirt really comfy loose, as many do, you might consider getting a size larger than normal for you. The actually colors of the shirt don’t always match up with the corresponding colors on the Web. Oddly, the shirt colors tend to be more vivid, I think. And remember, you can see the artwork on the shirts by clicking on the link at the top of this post. I’ve said about all I can say about T shirts. Now I’m going to watch the Auburn/Alabama game. War Eagle!!

    “Wiv a little bit o’ luck . . .” Not that I’ve seen them all, but still think that’s the 20th c’s best musical comedy. Of course, it started out with pretty good book, as did Cats.

    Stanley Holloway was also great in The Lavender Hill Mob and the Shakespeare/Mendelssohn Midsummer Night’s Dream.

    Peace, emb

    Debbe 😉 One more for you, since you were not familiar with Jennifer’s work…a duet with a guy who can also sing a song pretty good.

    I have been surprised to learn the extent of some of your medical problems so I’m not complaining. I have an initial diagnosis of ulcerative colitis pending a pathology report. I have to say that everyone at the hospital was extremely nice except for the best looking nurse who apparently has a wall in her basement with chains, whips, etc. If you have prepped for a colonoscopy you know what my Thanksgiving meal was like. It doesn’t get much better when nurse Rachet told me that I had to drink every drop of the “golightly’ and I told her that I was done, To make a long story short, I did not drink any more and never saw her smug face again They have put me on a new medication and the pathology report will be back in a couple of weeks. In short, if someone tells you that something is normal and you know that it isn’t say so. Thank you Charlotte. I do feel better and I now weigh what I did when I finished basic training in 1972. Speaking of tee shirts I have about 50 that are printed with various things. Some of them go back to 1986 and I don’t wear shirts that are frayed or have holes.

    Hey everyone, Just checking in on the T shirts. Have seen the artwork and the shirt links, but what I have not seen is the pricing or the ordering process.

    Can someone point me in the correct direction?

    Thanks! B-)

    Debbe, I don’t have the patience anymore to type a link, especially when I go back to check it and it has changed to a different link and includes symbols that I don’t recognize. Therefore I will simply recommend Otis Redding and Try a Little Tenderness. Would believe that this song was recorded in 1933 by Bing Crosby?

    Good morning Villagers….

    Thank you Gal for the update on Indy Mindy….

    Jerry, it’s good to see you back here, hope the results will be good news. Nurse Rachet, good one.
    ….and why don’t you try copy and paste a link instead of trying to type it.

    I have not put up a tree in 4 or 6 years, it’s been so long I can’t remember the last time I did. I put up some decorations, I have a wrought iron shelf stand with three shelves that I have strands of lights on, one piece nativity scenes, a window size (think old Baptist Church) stained glass with lights behind it. The colored ones burned out the other night, so I need to get more lights. My husband calls it my “shrine” as it also has mementos from Mom’s and Stepdad’s funerals.

    My little niece is leaving to go back to Davenport today. I told her mom (suster #3) that I hope when she is walking her big dog (named Hoosier) she stays focused on what’s around her and not on the dog, and then I asked if she carries mace…..and she does.

    The teens weren’t so bad yesterday….three augers went out, a belt wrap, and it was just us three….me packing. As a matter of fact, they did a good job.

    Be glad to see the sun shine again…….I need it.

    ya’ll have a blessed Lord’s day
