The merchandising train, that is.

Morning friends.

I’d like to start out today’s post by wishing a very Happy Birthday to Sica. Be sure to wish her one as well.

You may have noticed that I am getting around later than normal, given my new early morning work out routine. Well, up yours. Today is Wednesday, the previously established Lord Kelvin’s Day of Rest. Blessed be the restful, because they are more attractive than their drowsier counterparts. Beauty rest makes you strong like bull. Or something.

But that’s not what we’re here to talk about. We’re here to discuss this:

That’s right. This handsome devil is the mock-up for the t-shirts. I received the proof late yesterday afternoon. I then promptly approved said proof and it was sent off to the presses. Boo-to-the-yah.

I also received the proof for the newest Sticker Doodle as seen here. Also approved and sent to the printers.

All was well, until I did my taxes. Wa-wa-wah. Yeah, I didn’t get reamed nearly as badly as I expected. I actually got some money back from Federal, thanks to my education credits. I am getting back about half of what I owe to the loving state of Arkansas. Thanks, Natural State!

I don’t know about you, but I need some cheering up. How about a little Russian Police Choir covering Daft Punk? Okay, good:

Yeah, that just happened.

As for today, we’ll just have to wait and see what the day brings us on a shiny platter.

See ya’ tomorrow.

More soon. ~SC
