If you have to do something...

How's your knee room?

Abundant!

Like the doughboys before him and the GI's that came after....a returning Yank, fresh from the green fields of the United Kingdom, awakens in his warm American bed and feels the manifest destiny to........game.

Winning is winning!

Game time on the horizon!

Roller derby!

Looks like it, doesn't it? 1960s football helmets. Go Giants!

Ahh yes.. The after trip reset... Always a "so glad to be back home but regret that it's over" feeling.

To an absolute “t”!

Ah he's back home now, when you start to get those after holiday blues, just remember that they don't have In And Out in the UK.

Gear: RR Game Changer .68 SB, Astra SP blade, Simpson Duke synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, CBL Barba AST, and Prada Luna Rossa to finish!

Non typical Saturday in progress. Decided to skip one more workout day and we’ll pick up again this coming week. Took the family out for a nice breakfast instead.

Little bit of laundry to get through yet and a dinner party later. Should be left with plenty of time to hunt down cool space ships to buy in No Man’s Sky, now that I’ve amassed a small fortune scrapping salvaged ships.

Happy Saturday all!

If you're gonna skip a workout, at least make it worthwhile!

Gear: RR Game Changer .68 SB, Astra SP blade, Graydog Art Deco brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Captain’s Choice Venture, and Fine Platinum EDT to finish!

Sunday! Last day of freedom.

Up with the alarm for church. Great shave was had. CC Venture is more on the fruity side of Aventus clones whereas Fine Platinum hits the smoky and birch aspects hard. Together? Great!

Already turned to work phone back on…hooooo the sheer volume of messages

Have a blessed Sunday all!

I hear you! Getting up to exercise was not on my retirement bucket list.

Congrats! Your experiences in retirement are growing beyond your expectations!

I hear you! Getting up to exercise was not on my retirement bucket list.

I’ll just point out that getting up could constitute a form of exercise as well.

Congrats! Your experiences in retirement are growing beyond your expectations!

But positively or negatively?

Well…it’s Monday. Here we go!

Great shave this morning. Got a decent nights rest, even though I woke up at 3:30 and was in and out about every 30 minutes or so until the alarm went off. Grabbed the Fine AB combo to finish. No complaints!

I anticipate a busy week ahead, trying to get readjusted and back into the swing of things. Next small break isn’t until Thanksgiving!

Have a great Monday all!

Yep....

Wanna trade?

Which, if you think about it, is only weeks away.
