The Wolf
There are several wolf packs in Yellowstone, one named the Druids. There is a lone, black wolf known as Casanova. He was named this because of his playful nature and his documented courting of the daughter of the head of the Druid pack. PBS did a documentary on the wolves and Casanova in particular.
I was in Montana early in the fall. We have friends out there. While visiting Yellowstone earlier in the year, our one friend was lucky enough to get a picture of Casanova. After seeing his picture my first thought was - "Wow, that would look cool on a T-Shirt. So I made one. It's pretty popular too. So if you're looking for a wolf on a T-Shirt, you've come to the right place!

Wings
Prior to the show, I came up with this design. I was pretty happy that the kids liked the shirts. I made them in a variety of colors; the light print on black was the biggest hit.

Google Me
Last night I was surfing the net. So much information, so little time. I decided to look up some people I used to know, see if I could find them and contact them just to catch up. There is so much going on out there in cyberland! There are reunion sites, linked up sites, my space, your space, no space. Then there is face book, and of course google. You always start with google.
I remember back in the day, many, many moons ago when the internet was just a baby. I worked at a computer company and it was our task to find information in cyberspace relating to customer service, which I supported at the time. We used to use dogpile, yahoo, alta vista, etc. to surf and look for info. Then one day one of the techies said - try google. Who knew it would be as big as it is today.
You can find anything on google. Google is also a term now - I think it's even in the dictionary as a term for searching for stuff. Ok, I don't know that for sure, but it was a thought. I did find out from a college student (so it has to be accurate information) that google is more than a trillion. I thought that term was bazillion, but who am I? :-)
Back to last night. So I'm looking up some old friends. I found one, the info was a month old. Not bad as most stuff you find on people is ancient, years old.
A long time ago I set up a google alert on my last name so I could see what info pops up. I get alerts for my sibblings too, and an occasional reminder of the fated day that my father was killed in a plane crash and the report from the FTA shows up. I guess it's just unforgiving, cyberspace that is.
After getting no where with the old friends I haven't seen in years, I decide to google some friends I haven't seen in a few months to see if I could find out what they were up to. Ironically, I found one of my friends in real time. That is, where they were yesterday. Wow, that was wild! I felt like Captain Kirk on the Starship Enterprise locating someone on another planet. Wild I tell ya!
So my shirt for today is - Google Me. Want to find out what someone is up to? Google them and good luck!

Make Your Mess Your Message
On this day, Robin Roberts was a guest on the show. She was promoting her new book " From the Heart: 8 Rules to Live by". If you've never heard of her, Robin Roberts is on a favorite morning show of mine, Good Morning America as co-anchor. Some of Robin's beliefs are that rules teach us invaluable lessons such as discipline and responsibility.
As she spoke about her new book, she mentioned that it includes a new rule - "Make your mess your message", one of Robin's mother's rules, something she instilled in her. When I heard this I immediately thought - "wow, that would make a great t-shirt!"
But what does this all mean to me? What is my message? Check back later on that note.
One day she woke up and thought about doing something, especially since nothing had worked this far. So she cut back on he medications and started to feel better. Up to this point she had to be careful what she ate, she couldn't walk far because of the asthma, and when it was too humid, she wound up in the ER by ambulance.
As I sat there yesterday I thought "that is her message" and it all began to make sense to me. I found what it meant to Make your mess your message. Her message was to make a change. How cool is that! I figured it out, and I will figure out my message one day too.
Have a mess that you can make into your message? Let me know, I'd like to hear from you. As for the shirts, they are on sale at my store Say It With A Tee. I've sold a few so far and plan to sell many, many more. Everyone loves them! A portion of the sale is going to the Susan G. Komen The Cure Foundation.
Thanks for listening!
