I\u2019d buy that t-shirt in a hummingbird\u2019s heartbeat! In fact I\u2019m going to look for it<\/em>.”<\/p>\nBut in the end I didn’t order one.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Instead I ordered two, one gray and one green, and here they are in all their glory.<\/p>\n
Within minutes of sitting down at my computer last night and beginning to work up today’s blog post I received a text message saying that my t-shirts had been delivered to my doorstep. Needless to say at that point my plans for today’s post changed instantly.<\/p>\n
I’m always looking for appropriate (for me) t-shirts for the summer months and these two tickle my fancy. I didn’t order black because that would be too hot in the summer but I can wear the gray when it’s hot and the green in spring and fall.<\/p>\n
I realize that some viewers probably won’t appreciate my new apparel or my sophomoric sense of humor but that’s OK, it’s mine<\/em> and it serves me well enough.\u00a0I’ll use my almost 3 1\/2 decades in the classroom with boisterous and irreverent teenagers as an excuse for my sense of humor – it is what it is.<\/p>\nThanks to Diane Bricmont and to countless students over the years for the inspiration.<\/p>\n

Notes: <\/em><\/p>\n\n- Another thing I like about my new t-shirts – they’re high enough in the neck that they hide my new “neck zipper” from recent thyroid removal surgery.<\/em><\/li>\n
- I guess it’s too much to ask that a t-shirt apparently intended for mass consumption be accurate enough to depict the young Chukars in more realistic juvenile plumage rather than as miniature adults.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
