T-Shirts and The Hissy Hum of Happiness




A few weeks ago I was sitting at the dining room table at Carissa's house, listening to the hum of the baby monitor, checking my stats on Reverbnation. I noticed for the several hundredth time that my profile was 95% complete. All I needed to do was add some merchandise and I'd be magically bumped to 100%. So I designed a couple of t-shirts and now I am 100% complete and I feel quite, exactly the same as I did before....


One day I'm going to be walking on a beach in some obscure place and some dude will walk by with a faded Tim Pepper t-shirt and I will smile inside and remember that the thing I was most concerned with on the evening when that t-shirt was designed was that my baby girl was still sleeping quietly. No noise other than a soft, hissy hummmmmmm was emanating from the monitor and that made me happy.


Of course I'm not sure why anyone would buy one of those t-shirts but it's theoretically possible and besides..a man can dream can't he?
