On one of my many business trips, I was in Dallas. There I had dinner with Joanne DeBenedictis-Carley and her husband Howie. I started a new tradition. I thought each time I visited a classmate, I'd have a picture taken with "the shirt". Where did you all go? Hmmmm

"Tradition!!!!! Tradition!! Traaaaadiiitioooon!!!Ok, enough. I've started a new tradition. Everyone I visit has to have their picture taken with the real thing!! No, this is not a touched up photo. It's the REAL shirt!!! LOL Who's next!!!??? "

I also do a joke list. As part of the mailings I get was this picture. It was just too good to believe that someone else had the exact same shirt as I did. Did the folks accept it? Heck no ... "It's bogus", "That's Wes as a little kid". Honest, I never touched this picture and it ain't me, babe!! Posted March 6, 2005.

"LOL - Folks, I didn't touch this photo in any way. This came as part of a group of joke pics entitle "Things That Make A Dad Proud". Note the guy at the receiving end. No, it's not me, and I have no idea who he is, but that shirt sure looks familiar!!! ROFLMAO!!!And I know what the comments are going to be, too!!!"

I endeavored to run with this whenever the opportunity showed it's plaid head. Here is Paula's step-granddaughter with her "original" gingerbread house. Posted January 29, 2006.
