Here is a most excellent UM YA YA shirt that I got from Bruce after his recent visit to St. Olaf.  The best part of this shirt is that if you are not an Ole this probably looks like nonsense; a translation for Michigan fans is that it is the St. Olaf equivalent to 'Go Blue'.

Here is a shirt from a race Jodi and I did on November 7, 1998 with some friends of ours in Grapevine, Texas.   Sometime after that I was wearing this shirt on a ferry on the Thames river in London heading towards Greenwich and it turned out that I was sitting next to a guy from Grapevine who was as surprised as I was to see a Grapevine connection so far away!

On this date back in 2005 I ran the Cardinal 5K.  This was a race in Kensington, MD to benefit a bird-friendly school.  If you've never seen a cardinal in running shoes, a sweatshirt and headband take a close look at the design.

Here is a shirt that I got from mom at Christmas.  It seems like as good a time as any to start thinking about snow!  There were some rumors I heard suggesting that I smile more in these pictures.  So today I put on the biggest smile that I could find -- I think my dentist would approve.

On this date back in 1996 I ran the New York City Marathon.  This year's NYC Marathon was yesterday.  This is definitely a classic marathon -- a must see/do event; if you don't run it, go up to spectate.  The race logistics can be tricky (you need to get to the start on Staten Island hours before the race begins) but the course through the five buroughs is worth it.  There is never a dull moment from start to finish.  Jodi pointed out that if you look carefully on this well-worn t-shirt you can see the twin towers; this gives another perspective dating this shirt.

Here's another Carolina shirt.  This one is from a campus 5K race back in 1997 or 1998.

When in Rome ... Here's a UNC Tar Heel shirt in the spirit of my current locale.   I know this will displease a significant percentage of blog followers (OK, even one blog follower represents a significant portion in this case!) but the bottom line is that I have a bunch of Carolina shirts and this is just the first.
